PC is on, Kitty is logged on as admin, I am sitting there watching it at 3:00PM.
Nothing shows, and task manager does not show Spybot executing, but checking the Spybot log afterwards shows that it did execute. I would simply like to see it execute, like I can on my other machine.
Hello,
Can you please paste the commando line parameter that you use for the scheduler? Thanks.

Here it is, copied directly from the Task Scheduler:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe /AUTOCHECK
It was created by Spybot. I have not altered it.
Hello,
Thanks for checking.
We have tested this problem and can confirm it.
Maybe you can send us the job files from both pc's?
They should be stored under: C:\Windows\Tasks
This seems to be a Windows 7 issue.
When Spybot-S&D 1.6.2 has been released Windows 7 was not yet on the market.
So a fully compatible and Windows 7 certified version should be Spybot 2.0, but we have no release date yet.
But if you like you can test the Spybot-S&D 2.0 Beta.
Best regards

That is what I suspected. I tried your Beta version but it is fraught with even more problems, all of which I reported, and none of which have been fixed. I am afraid you have lost a user from lack of proper and timely maintenance/upgrade procedures. I hope you are able to catch up in the near future, as I really liked the user interface on Spybot 2.0 Beta.
You may close this topic, thanks for the information.
Win 7/32 won't run from scheduler
Interestingly enough, I have kind of the same problem. After searching the net found a suggestion toOriginally Posted by spybotsandra
change the compatibility to 'Run as Administrator'. I have a system at work and one at home, the one
at work appears to execute fine, but it is logged off and scheduled with a password, while one at home
is logged in by a user with admin privileges. After changing all the exe files and the shell to 'Run as
Administrator,' the system at home will update fine and wait to run. After I click to run off it goes.
I have added the password to both tasks (update and scan) even though I am logged in and will see
what happens.
Spybot 2.2 and Windows 7
I had tried "run as administrator" and it did not work at the time. The latest version of Spybot (2.2 Free Edition) works fine on both my Windows 7 systems. I just execute it manually. If you are still having problems after upgrading, I suggest you let Safer Networking know. Thanks for your response!

Spybot won't run from scheduler with Windows 7
I tried a number things and I believe all helped some. The first thing that I needed to
do was Right Click on all exe programs located in the the Sypbot folder, located in
the Program Files folder under your bootable drive. In my case, it is C: Select Properties
Click on the Compatibility tab and check the Run as Administrator box at the
bottom.
Finally, Right Click on the Spybot folder. select Properties , then select the Security
tab. Hightlight the Adminstrator item in the upper box. Click edit and
place a check in the Full Control box. Then, exit. Mine ran just like it used to run
with the scheduler on XP.
