From: brickman on 27 Mar 2010 15:11 I have a few things under Scheduled Tasks that apparently never do run. Is there anything that I should have scheduled in there on a regular basis? If so, can someone tell me which programs? Do I have to schedule my Avast , MBAM, Spybot in there, or they run by themselves? I did schedule Avast a few minutes ago but it did not go on. Thank you for any help.

Usually Avast, etc schedule themselves and that should be visible in the scheduled tasks.

The Task Scheduler, by default and for security reasons, will not run tasks on local accounts without passwords. It just quietly fails. Add the password to your account - for this purpose, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's not blank - and to the task. HTH -pk

Yes, I do have a password to log in. I was thinking of removing it anyways, so let me go ahead and delete it. I shall post what happens...Thank you!
