Spybot won't execute from scheduler - Win 7/64
Please refer to this thread:
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread...5&goto=newpost
I am having trouble getting Spybot 1.6.2 to execute from a scheduler setting in advanced mode in Windows 7/64-bit. At first I thought it might be malware, but the machine, Kitty4, which is my wife's machine, is free of malware. Ken in the Malware forum suggested I post here.
I have an identical machine to my wife's on which Spybot executes from the scheduler perfectly. I don't know why it won't on her machine. I can only run it manually from the start menu on her machine. Why?
Thanks for your suggestions!

Hello,
Did you open Spybot with a right click and choose "run as administrator/take ownership"?

When I run it from the start menu, yes. The problem now is it does not execute on a schedule, such as 3:00PM every Tues, Thurs, Sun that I have set up in advanced mode/scheduler. It doesn't run at the specified day & time.

Hello,
Did you enter a password?

No password is required on either machine, if that's what you mean.

Have you tried setting up the scheduled task using the Task Scheduler (Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools)? If you're logged on as a user, you may want to run the Task Scheduler as administrator, depending on what you want to do.
I think that I had similar problems setting up scheduled tasks from the Spybot UI on my Windows 7 64 bit PC, but I had no problems getting them running using the Task Scheduler.

I examined the Task Scheduler settings, and changed the User from Stephen to Kitty, verified other settings and saved it yesterday. Today at 3:00PM it still did not appear to execute on either User. However I check the Spybot log files, and it did execute on time as scheduled. Why does it not show up on either User I am logged on to?

Hello,
So does Kitty have admin rights and is not only a user?
I would recommend to try it with a password and see if that works.
If you do not have a password for the account yet, you can make one via the Windows control panel, below "user and passwords".

Kitty is an administrator, and the task is scheduled with a password on her account.
