Now I have switched the Win2k account he uses on a day to day basis to a limited account only to find out that it appears that the weekly scheduled scan no longer runs. I go into NOD32 to look at the parameters which tells the job to run at 2AM Saturday. I look through the logs and sure enough the job appears to have started but shows a status of SCANNING in the NOD32 Scanner Logs and when I look at the logfile in detail and it shows that the scanner had some problems with find the next archive volume in a series of archive files and then the scan job just died.

Seems that the April 1 scan job also did not run to completion.

The job is calling NOD32 as an external execution with the following options

/local /adware /ah /all /arch+ /heur+ /log+ /mailbox+ /pack+ /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /scanmem+ /scroll+ /sfx+ /unsafe /wrap+

When I go thorugh the parameters of the job under his limited user account after the Run External Command screen I get a window titled Scheduler/Planner with a black Exclamation mark on a yellow triangle, no other information or error message is shown in this window!
