Can anyone help me to get defender to auto scan, i have set the time i want
it to work but it does not go. Except for this noe item everything else is
working fine.
Thanks,
 
When auto scan runs on my PC, there is no visible sign of it running, not
even a results box at the end. But if you open Windows Defender, the last
scan date, time, and results should be at the bottom of "home." Also you
could check your Event Viewer in Control Panel>Performance and
Maintenance>Administrative tools>Event Viewer>system. If Defend runs a scan,
it shows up there under "WinDefend." Iif not, then look for errors regarding
WinDefend.
 
Thanks it is working in the background.

auto scan

I followed everyone's advice. Even removed all of my spyware/anti virus stuff to be sure, but auto scan just won't work. How do I know for sure? I have had this for a few days now and I get the message that I haven't scanned in 4 days, recommend auto scan to automatically........etc.

So, mine does NOT work in back ground. The only time it works is when I do it manually. Any advice?
