Title: Task Scheduler
Post by: lgurney on July 09, 2007, 08:21:42 PM

I am unfamiliar with where to find in the interface a place to schedule a regular scan of the local disk.  I have a simple interface, Avast 4.7 Professional, Build: May2007(4.7.1001) Xtreme Toolkit version 1.9.4.0, Using ActiveSkin version 4.2.7.3  In the features of the program there is mention of a Task Scheduler, but I can't seem to find the setting in the interface, or is this making mention of the fact that you can schedule scans through the Windows Task Scheduler?

I know that this is a pretty basic question, but I just can't seem to locate the settings for scheduled scans.

Any help would be appreciated  :)

Thank you,

On Professional version, right click a Task (make a new task if you want, for instance, create a copy of the 'Scan: Local disks' Task) and then go to the Properties and then Scheduling...

I changed to the Enhanced view then I found the Task/scheduler.

Thanks again,
