(I posted this earlier on the general Avast security forum, and someone [Asyn] suggested posting it here, on the Mac-specific forum.)
My computer, an iMac running MacOS 10.14.5, is configured to run a Scheduled Scan with Avast Security (13.12) every Sunday morning at 01:00. But AFAICT the scan never runs. Instead, later on Sunday mornings when I wake up, I'm greeted by a pop-up notification message saying, "A scheduled scan has been skipped" and "Launch time missed."
This probably has something to do with the computer's Preferences settings. The Energy Saver is set to put the display to sleep at about 12 minutes of non-use and the computer to sleep after 15 minutes. The screen saver is set to start after 10 minutes of inactivity. The Scheduled Scan is set to "Wake up the system to start scan (if in sleep mode)," but apparently this is having no effect.
Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
