I am trying to schedule a MSAS scan with the PC in standby mode. I am unable
to set the schedule so the PC wakes and starts the scan. Any ideas??

Thanks
 
The current product runs as a user mode program, rather than a service. I
don't believe it can do this.

I believe there are command-line parameters to initiate and control a scan.
So--if you can write a batch file and use Scheduled Tasks to wake the PC,
you might be able to manage this. See Steve Dodson's blog entry for the
command-line arguments:
