Hi,

Has anyone else come across an error where, when trying to set a schedule
for scanning the computer for spyware, the program sets it to a completely
ficticious time - my copy currently "Runs at 112:00 AM every day"! I am
runnig the latest version, as of 7:30 AM (UK time)

Cheers,

Andrew

.Hello Andrew
Click to expand...

Try this:
-Change the language to English (US)
-Set the right time
-change the language to your own

That solution solved my problem, so why ot yours

y Bill Sanderson:

I've dug into this bug, as follows:

Users in locales where the default clock is a 24 hour
format will find that they cannot set scheduled scan times
in the afternoon.

This can be worked around by selecting a time format which
uses 12 hour format rather than 24 hour.

This is on the Time tab, and a working format is: h:mm:ss
tt

A non-working format is: any of the choices with a CAPITAL
H at the beginning.

This isn't my discovery, it was posted by others here, but
I've done some testing:

1) I set my language to English (United Kingdom) afternoon
settings failed (default time is 24 hour.) Reset time to
12 hour,and afternoon settings worked.

2) I set my language to English (United States) Default
time setting is 12 hour. Scheduling scans in the
afternoon works fine. Change just the time
settings to a 24 hour choice, and you can no longer set up
a scheduled scanin the afternoon.

This bug appears to me to be new in build 614.

Hi Andrew:

I have a different problem with the same feature. Namely,
regardless of the time I select for the scan that I run
daily, it defaults to 10:30. The prior, original version
of the program allowed me to set 22:00 for this scan that
takes about 25 minutes on average and does obviously
compete for resources.

I've sent to messages in the last several days to MSFT but
received only a reply indicating that tech support isn't
available for this beta program. Otherwise, I'm having a
very good experience with it.

Condolences on the losses the UK just experienced at the
hands of terrorists.

This is an appearance issue. You've set the scan time to 10 AM, and it will
scan at that time.
 
Andrew--that's what 10:00 AM looks like in every beta copy, I'm afraid. At
least it does do the scan at the right time, even if it looks strange.
