Creating the scan startup schedule

You can create a schedule to automatically start virus scan tasks: specify task run frequency, start time (if necessary), and advanced settings.

If it is not possible to start the task for any reason (for example, the computer was not on at that time), you can configure the skipped task to start automatically as soon as it becomes possible. You can automatically pause the scan when a screensaver is inactive or the computer is unlocked. This functionality postpones the launch until the user has finished working on the computer. The scan will then not take up system resources during the work.

Special Idle Scan mode allows you to start scan of the system memory, system partition, and startup objects keeping your computer idle.

To modify a schedule for scan tasks:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, select the required task in the Scan (Full Scan, Critical Areas Scan, Custom Scan, or Vulnerability Scan) section.
  3. In the Run mode section, click the Settings button for the task selected.
  4. In the window that opens, on the Run mode tab select the required startup mode in the Schedule section.

To enable automatic launch of skipped task:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, select the required task in the Scan (Full Scan, Critical Areas Scan, Custom Scan, or Vulnerability Scan) section.
  3. In the Run mode section, click the Settings button for the task selected.
  4. In the window that opens, on the Run mode tab, in the Schedule section, check the Internet Security mark fs Creating the scan startup schedule Run skipped tasks box.

To launch scans only when the computer is not being used:

  1. Open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, select the required task in the Scan (Full Scan, Critical Areas Scan, Custom Scan, or Vulnerability Scan) section.
  3. In the Run mode section, click the Settings button for the task selected.
  4. In the window that opens, on the Run mode tab, in the Schedule section, check the Internet Security mark fs Creating the scan startup schedule Pause scheduled scan when screensaver is inactive and computer is unlocked box.
