Startup scan after the computer been on for 7 hours???

Hi members.

Well, I don't know if this is normal or not.

Of course ESS made a "Start up scan" when I first started the PC as always.
And now after the PC has been on for 7 hours it does a "Start up Scan" again.

So how come

Hi,

I think it's because you left "startup scan file check" enabled in the scheduler, the one that's triggered by a successful database update. In this case, a startup scan can be run anytime the virus database is updated and not really at start-up.

 

Right I see.

Well maybe it should be called something else then, than START-UP scan
when it scans at times other than at start up.

Like (Update scan) after an update since I belive it scanned after the 4988 update that's why I noticed it.

But I understand why now anyway, Thanks

 

You're welcome.

And I agree it's not very aptly named.

 

Problemo gone, since I deleted the scheduled "Start up scan" after the updates as you mentioned
