    I have Defender set to do a quick scan daily at 6:00 a.m. but it is not doing it. It alerted me today that I have not scanned my computer in 22 days.

    Computer is on all the time. However some days it is asleep at 6:00 but most days i am on it then.

    Any ideas?

    Mitch

    Vista or XP?

    If either try another time, if the latter uninstall/reinstall.

    Sorry, Vista 32 bit.

    I will set it to sometime in the afternoon and see what happens. Otherwise I'll reinstall.

    Thanks Pete
