Title: Scheduling Scans
Post by: peanut123 on September 30, 2009, 01:08:04 AM

As a new user of "Home Pro Edition" I scheduled scans for 3:00 a.m. every day.  However, when I go to "Sessions" to check the status, it shows the scan was done twice every day at 3:00 a.m. !?  Why doesn't it show the scan being done once at 3:00 a.m.? 

Also, is there a recommended number of times a week (or month) to do a scan for a routine user ?

Which area did you check? Didn't you check both drivers and the same folders of that driver?

Generally, on-demand scanning very rare... maybe once a month.
But, if you want, you can set it more often overnight ;)
