Want to schedule scan

[sybernet1]

I want to schedule the Spybot scan, only I cannot get past the password part. I was wondering: who can schedule the scan? I thought I was the administrator as I set up the computer for my daughter. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

I did this on my computer, but I course I am the administrator there for sure.

Thanks

Is the operating system Windows XP?

I'll assume that the system you are attempting to schedule Spybot on is a Windows XP system.

Spybot uses the OS scheduler. In Windows XP the user account that adds the schedule entry must have a password. See:
Scheduled Tasks cannot run with a blank password

There is workaround for the password requirement in Windows XP. See the following thread:

For additional information on scheduling parameters that can be used, see the following:
Are there any command line parameters?
