Automatic Scan

[Alvis]

MS Antispyware used to start up automatically when I
switched on my computer and scan at the set time. Since
having a PC World Health Check, although the software is
still installed, I have to initiate a scan each day. Nor
does it update automatically.

What do I have to do to get MS Antispyware to start up
when I switch on my computer - and to gets its icon to
appear in the system tray as it used to do.

Hope I have explained my problem - just a novice computer
user.

Open MSAS.
Options
Settings
Check all the settings.

It is set to scan at 11 pm each day - but has to be
reminded!

Many thanks Tom - this has solved my problem.

I notice, however, that the starting of the scan does not
work in retrospect like my antivirus scan - by which I
mean that if I switch on the computer after the scheduled
time, the MSAS scan does not start. But as I usually run
the MSAS later in the day, so that it does not clash with
my antivirus scan, this is not a problem.

Just another query - if you catch my reply - does running
my antivirus and MSAS scans at the same time create any
problems?

Hello Alvis,

it is possible that this give a error so better not!
Also the HDD is making overtime because 2 differend programs are looking
at the same time to the HDD, so never do 2 things at the time that have
a lot HDD actions! It also slow's the both program's.

Hello Tom

Many thanks - once again. I shall return my MSAS scan to
the evening where it used to be so that it does not clash
with my antivirus which runs at start up in the morning.
