Yo set WD to scan lets say Monday at 2 pm weekly you cannot set Malwarebytes pro to scan at the same time and date. If you do this they will fight each other and one or both or even windows will crash so you set Malwarebytes to can daily at 4 pm. A bit time away from each other just in caseI have the pro and windows defender on. Why carnt I scan on the date and time? Little bit confessed.com
WA is typo error. Sorry. For WDForgot to. Say whats WA
Hi Robinb9
"Yo set WD to scan lets say Monday at 2 pm weekly",
I've removed N360 because of Win 8's WD conflict and have installed MBAM Pro to complement WD.
I can see the point of WD and MBAM scanning at different times to avoid clashing; however, unlike MBAM Pro, I can't see any option in WD which allows me to set scanning for specific days or times.
Under Administrator I can turn WD on or off I and can turn Real Time Protection on or off (then at Risk)
My Scan Options are; Quick, Full, Custom (select location and file types - but NOT choice of scan time/s) - and Scan Now.
Am I missing something?

I will tomorrow. I was at a client all day and typing this from my iiPad and about to go to bedHi Robinb9,
Thanks for your reply but sorry to say it's my first venture into Scheduling a task. I get so far but am stuck on the Start a Program Window in the Create a Basic Task Wizard pictured in the attached Word file and the insertion below.

I haven't a clue how to complete the various fields in order to complete the creation. If I click on 'browse' I get a very long list of mostly .dll files. Am I to select one of these?
Your further clarification will be appreciated.
Thx, Pedro
You do realize Malwarebytes is not an antivirus program. It is an anti spyware program.
I do not know who told you it picks up viruses because it is an Antispyware /anti malware program. It will pick up rootkits but those are not considered a virusYou do realize Malwarebytes is not an antivirus program. It is an anti spyware program.
It's a anti-malware program, which does include viruses (MBAM is designed to pick up viruses that may slip by the initial AV).
