scheduler time won't change

[dclkdm]

I tried to change the scheduler time (set to every sunday) but Prevx keeps on scanning every day ??? (it works to well? ;D ).

This behavior is on all 3 pc's/notebook.

How can I get Prevx to perform a scan only once a week on a day of my choice?

Out of curiosity, what are the other settings which you have checked in the scheduler page? The on-bootup scan occurs within an hour or so of bootup so could it be possible that this is the scan which is running rather than a normal scan?

You may want to uncheck "Scan automatically after bootup" and "If my computer is not powered on at the scheduled time". I haven't heard other users come in with this complaint before but it is indeed possible :) I'll run some tests to see if we can reproduce anything on our end (it'll take a couple days tho ;D)

I have: scan my system every sunday at 2 pm

scan at next bootup

only alert me if...


The curious thing is, it doesn't scan at bootup. Sometimes within an hour, but also after a couple of hours later in the evening.

I'll uncheck the bootup option for a while to see if it has something to do with this.

OK, I have only these options checked:

Enable sceduled scans
Scan every sunday (2 pm)
Only alert me if an infection is found

All others are unchecked.

Scan run yesterday (sunday) which is OK. But 5 min ago the scanning starts again, as it happily daily does ???

How can I get it to run only weekly?

This appears to be a bug in our scan scheduler. We will be looking into it shortly to correct it ASAP :)

Thanks for the report!

I can't get mine to quit doing the bootup scan. Checked yes or no it just does it. It's so quick though I haven't really worried about it much...??? :o ;D

Well, yes it is quick. But still... yesterday it even did a second scan. Twice daily is very secure but I want it to scan when I tell it to 8)
