I have scheduled my updates but I don't see how to schedule a routine scan. How do I do this? I want it to run a scan on a certain day each week.
Hi connie8890,
Welcome to Safer Networking :welcome:
... I don't see how to schedule a routine scan. How do I do this?
1. Go to Spybot-S&D
2. Mode menu -> Advanced Mode
3. Settings -> Scheduler
4. Click 'Add' button (the first green cross on the left)
5. Click 'Edit' button
6. Optional: In the window that pops up, you can add extra command line parameters in the 'Run' field (FAQ (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/30.html))
7. Click the 'Schedule' tab
8. Click 'New' -> Enter in when you would like the scan to take place. In your case, choose 'Weekly' from the drop down menu and fill in the relevant information needed.
9. Click OK and if a box pops up asking you to enter in your password, do so.
10. Back in Spybot-S&D you can also tick the two options underneath your newly created schedule.
Best regards,
honda :)
