    Hi

    I have heard that ESET is the best antivirus soft on the market, So i downloaded the trial and installed the soft, so far so good :eek:

    But then when i make a scheduled so the soft will scan my computer in the middle of the night when i not use my computer i only get
    "Adding Scheduled task failed" and also on the rest if i try to edit them...

    What can be wrong?....

    Hope some one can say what to fix.....

    If you are adding a new task properly, maybe there's a problem with permissions of the current user for the ESET registry key.

    If it's actually a problem with permissions to certain registry keys, you'd have problems with any software, no matter whether it's from MS or another AV vendor. Please make sure that you are logged in under an administrator account and that the administrator group has full control for the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET key granted. Pay attention to permission inheriting from parent objects and permission spreading to child objects.
