MS antispyware scheduler problem.

Prophets21 · Aug 10, 2005

I get this problem with Microsoft Anti Spyware, the scheduler runs at 2:00am even after I have disabled it from within the settings.

IF, you were to go to Control Panel, then run Scheduled tasks, does the task of MS antispyware show up there? If it does and you want to get rid of it, then delete it from the task listing.

It is not there. Only Spybot is. I cannot see the problem.

Within MS Antispyware, goto Tools > Spyware Scan > Manage Spyware Scan Schedule > and keep Daily Ticked and then tick Disable Schedule > Update Schedule

other than that its beta and subject to weirdness

OMG I am so dumb you won't believe this. I disabled automatic update and it didnt register in my thick brain that it was not auto update that was running at 2am every day, it was a scan.
