Introduction

    A scheduled scan is an important component of threat and security risk protection. Free AntiSpyware is equipped with a time scheduler that lets you specify when to perform scheduled scan according to your preferences. You may choose to run scheduled scans at a certain time on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to ensure your computer is free from harmful software.

To protect your computer, you should set a schedule to scan it periodically.

Step 1. Activate Customize Process Window

    Launch Free AntiSpyware and click "Customize scan".

    Then click "Configure scheduled scanning" and you will turn on task scheduler.

Step 2. Specify Schedule

    Check "Scan on a schedule" to let the scanning task process on Daily, Weekly or Monthly. Then, you can specify the scan areas and scanning mode. The files larger than the certain size you customized can be ignored. Click "Save" and the program will take proper action for all detected malware.
