SpyHunter incorporates an advanced Scan Scheduler feature, which allows you to run a complete SpyHunter scan at a pre-set time, even if you are away from your computer.The operation of the Scan Scheduler is very intuitive. If the “Activate Scheduled Scan” checkbox is checked, this means that the SpyHunter’s Scan Scheduler is currently active. If you have not modified any of the other settings in this window, the parameters of the currently active schedule will be automatically filled in to the appropriate fields. In order to activate the Scan Scheduler, just click on this checkbox to add a check. Likewise, to deactivate the Scan Scheduler, uncheck the box by clicking on it.

Use the “Run Scan at” drop-down to set a time of day at which your scheduled scan will run. Please note that the times are displayed in 24-hour format (so 03:00 is equivalent to 3:00 AM).

There are three primary schedule patterns available: Daily, Weekly and Monthly. The right side of the “Scheduled Pattern” frame will display different options, based on which pattern is selected. Use the radio boxes in this frame to select a primary schedule pattern.

Daily Scan Option – If you opt for a daily scan, you can choose to run the scan every day, every other day, every weekday, or at any interval of days that you choose. To set up SpyHunter to scan every day, click on the “Daily” radio button, and then click the “Every” button. Select “1″ in the “Day(s)” select box. If you would like to schedule a scan for every other day, follow this same procedure, but select “2″ in the “Day(s)” select box. You can use the “Day(s)” select box to setup a scan at any interval of days that you desire.

To configure SpyHunter to run a scan on every weekday, click on the “Daily” radio button, then the “Every weekday” button.

Weekly Scan Option – To setup weekly SpyHunter scans, click on the “Weekly” radio button. The right side of the panel will change, allowing you to select the day of the week that your scan will be scheduled for.

Monthly Scan Option – To setup monthly SpyHunter scans, click on the “Monthly” radio button. The right side of the panel will change, allowing you to select the day of the month that your scan will be scheduled for.

Please note: Your computer must be powered on at the time that your scan is scheduled to run. If the computer is not turned on, the scan cannot execute!
