I'm trying to fix the time to run the spyware at 07 pm,
but system is changing it to 7 am it doesnt matter what
pm time you put it goes back to am.
How can I fix this problem? The first ever Beta version
worked fine but the latest version has a problem.

Here is the solution provided by 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 scan
in the afternoon.

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

Control panel, date, time, language, and regional settings Regional and
language options Click customize next to your locale setting Click the time
tab."
