    Default schedualer

    Just Checking to see if anyone else has a problem setting up the automatic scan schedualer or if is just me.
    I recently purchased new puter and can't get the schedualer to take. Tells me I am not authorised and yet I have norton and spysweeper schedualed. Please advise.
    Thanks Scott

    With Windows XP the user account that adds the schedule entry must have a password. This is because Spybot uses the OS scheduler and XP requires a password to schedule. See:
    Scheduled Tasks cannot run with a blank password

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

    Common parameters used:
    /TASKBARHIDE /AUTOCHECK /AUTOFIX /AUTOCLOSE
