Unscheduled Scan...

Hello, my Nod32 does an unscheduled scan every Tuesday night before the planned one. Problem is I cannot find where to delete it.
Any help gratefully appreciated. See attachment;

 

If you use Windows 9x you might have the Windows scheduler set to trigger a scheduled scan.

 

Sorry Marcos, I should have given details.
I have XP Home SP1. IE6.

 

Can it be that you missed a scheduled scan and it is the previous nights scan starting first. I found this, so I extended when it was to run, and that was if it was not run for 400hrs (just over 2 weeks), it was then to run a scan ASAP.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

 

Just a shot in the dark - would you please go to Start - Control Panel - Scheduled tasks and make sure there's actually no scheduled task?

 

Hi Blackspear, no, it doesn't miss a planned scan, this has been happening for a while and I am only getting round to investigating it now. Thanks.

Hello Marcos, scheduled tasks list is empty, nothing there at all.

I did try looking through the folder in Program files, I couldn't see anything obvious there. Could you look and see which file it may be under?

 

Have you tried looking in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Eset\Nod\CurrentVersion\Scheduler branch of the registry? I believe that is where the schedule information is kept.

 

Thanks alglove, under "schedular" in registry are the details given in attachment above. Good thinking but alas.

As it is not a serious problem I will live with it as newer version is on horizon and probably that will sort it.
Unless of course any other ideas come forward.

 

You could always try downloading a FRESH copy of Nod32 from www.nod32.com

Uninstall your current version.

Remove the Eset Folder from C Drive> Program Files.

Install the FRESH copy of Nod32 that you downloaded above.

Let us know how you go…

Cheers

 

Thanks Blackspear, when is new version due? I am on dial-up and you know the rest. If not too long to wait I can suffer it out for a while longer. I still have latest installer if pushed.
Thanks to yourself and everyone who tried to help.

 

No idea on that one, The current version is only about 20 to 30min to download on dialup, or if it isn't annoying you too much, then hang fire for the next update.

Cheers

 

Thanks Blackspear, as it's not a major problem I'll give it another while. One thing springs to mind, I did previously have it set for the earlier time then adjusted it to the slightly later time as it would have been scanning during update time, I didn't want the times clashing.
