Scheduling a scan

[Bob Jury]

Can anyone tell me please how to set a scheduled scan to run at 2am every morning (like I can do with AVG) without having to wait up until 2am to set it up?

Thanks.

Hello and

How To Use The New Scheduler

Once you register your full version make sure you schedule your program for automatic updates and scans.....

Thanks Firefox, I have a fully registered copy if 1.46 and the screens displayed only allow me to set the date and time from which the scheduling starts. This seems a bit redundant anyway, as it could hardly start before the day/time it is being set up.

So can I not tell it what time day I want the scan to run each day? And if I can't tell it what time to run then how do I know what time of day it WILL run? Seems to me to be a basic sort of requirement for any schedule...

Mystified,

Bob

Bob, AFAIK you have to delete the existing scheduled scan and then you can add a new one at the time you prefer it to run. You can do so by opening the MBAM icon on your desktop, click the "protection" tab and then on the "scheduler" tab.

Hope this has been of help.

Hi Mona

Thanks very much for that, but I'm happy with the knowledge of how to create and deleted schedules. What I can't see how to do is to stipulate what time of day it will do it's scan.

For instance, let's say I wanted it to do a scheduled scan every day at 2:00am , when I'm safely tucked up in bed. To set this schedule up I sit down at the PC at 3:30pm this afternoon, when I'm still up and running.

The scheduler will set the time of the daily scan at the current time, i.e. 3:30pm and I don't have any choice in the matter. I can't see how to change the daily time to run at 2:00 am. The only way I can see to run a daily scan at 2:00am is to stay up until 2:00am in the morning and create the schedule then.

Surely the obviously clever techies at Malwarebytes wouldn't have forced this onto their users?

Still puzzled...

Please look at the , how to use the new scheduler, link supplied by Firefox -

The third picture tells you where to set the time for scans -

Pick tomorrows date and set the time and date in the box supplied -

Thank You -

NOTE : You must have the paid version to do this -

Aha! I'm not used to being able to type directly into the drop-down list, so I missed this 'feature'. But it now seems to have saved a schedule with my choice of time, so thanks very much to all for being patient, and sorry to have taken your time.
