Hi,
what product? what version? what Platform? what settings?
try executing c: \<program folder>\F-Secure\anti-virus\fsav.exe from command line. Does that work?
hi its internet security 2011 on windows vista home premium sp 2 i am not to good with computers basic knowledge
If you go to the controllpanel and check under Scheduled Tasks is F-secure scanning added here? or is this just blank?
Hope this is what you are on about as don't no that much about computers thank you for replying
Could you try and for example sett it to do a scan Weekly and wednesday. To see if it will work on selected time tommorrow? And make sure the computer is on at this time. There isent any point of doing a full scan every day, Sence F-secure have a Realtime scanner. Once every week or month should be enough.
What i was asking about is the scheduled taks that you should find under Start - Controllpanel.
Hi found it and when I click on it I get an error the task image is corrupt or has been tampered with . Scheduled scanning task and in the list there is no f-secure so I don't no what wrong hopefully you can help and i have changed it to weekly
Hi,
try to remove the task and recreate it using the F-Secure GUI.
Additionaly I see "Ad-Aware" on your system and other duplicate tasks.
AdAware is a kind of malwarescanner as well and is competing for ressources with F-Secure!
Your skype also seems to have problems...
But I have found something else from the internet, after following the instruction, try to set a new sheduled task in IS2011 (maybe with a different time, just to test).
Here is the guide:
To troubleshoot this issue, I would like to propose the following suggestions.
1. Commonly Task Scheduler task image is located in : C:\Windows\System32\Tasks, please delete related corrupted image in this folder and see if the issue occurs.
2. Delete related registry item in the following location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tasks
Please locate to related folder with the same ID displayed on the error message, and delete this item.
Note: Pay attention to back up your registry before doing any modification.
Meanwhile, you can also visit the following website on similar issue first.
