I'm running Windows XP. *I'd like to schedule a TDS-3 full system scan to run, say, every other night at 2am. *Is anyone familiar with how to do this? *When I click on 'add a new task', I can select TDS-3 but if I've already got it running minimized, I doubt that will invoke a full scan, maybe it'll do the startup scan, but that's about it. *I"d like to scan everything, including all logical drives.

Any ideas?

Add the following parameter: -scand C:\
I have not seen one for a full system scan. *With luck someone else has and will jump in.

Since a full system scan takes about 45 minutes on my pc, it would be nice to have the task manager run it in the small hours of the morning.

I was glad to see the -scand C:\ paramter, so I can at least get the c drive scanned, but if there isn't some way to allow the FSS to be done by task manager, it would be a good idea to have it added to the program.

It should be able to do via a SS3 script as well but i wonder......... yes, vaguely think it's possible:
need a script that will launch a full system scan, and have it set as the autostart script. Then have task scheduler launch TDS at the desired time.
If only was known a command for that FSS to start with, for then also an exe could do it voice commanded if we want.
