• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

scheduling question

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)
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 :)
