    I was revieiwng my NOD scanner logs this evening and noticed one that seemed odd. I have all my other scans programmed to run at 7:15pm. This scan ran this morning at 6:30am. I wasn't even at my computer then. Any ideas what this could be? (see below)

    Was anyone else at the computer? He or she could have clicked on an NOD32 icon in the Start menu by mistake. o_O

    There's only a couple of normal ways that scan could have happened.
    One of them (the easiest way) is to right click on your start button and select NOD32 from the context menu.
    The other is via command line, something like
    Code:
    "C:\Program Files\ESET\nod32.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Start Menu"
    Do you have a scan scheduled that only scans your start menu? In the fourth step of setting up or editing a scheduled task there is an option to set the response if a task cannot be run at it's scheduled time. A couple of these options will make the scan run as soon as possible, so that could easily account for it.


    Cheers :)
