Each scheduled task is executed using its corresponding profile. A profile defines how a particular task is performed, and what parameters are associated with it during its execution. Profiles are created and named by the user.

  2. Select desired task from the pull-down menu
  3. Enter the task name and timing/triggering option from the available radio button list
  4. Select details for the selected option
  5. Select the action taken if the task can not be performed as specified
  6. Check the summary of the schedules task
  7. Click Finish to complete the specification or Back to change the settings

The NOD32 Antivirus System comes with two factory predefined profiles:

The most important features of the Default scanning profile are the scanning targets (fixed drives) and the default scanning parameters such as: heuristics sensitivity, diagnostic methods, action applied if virus is found, etc. The basic characteristics of the Default update profile are the definition of the Internet update server and the frequency of the update attempts (every six hours).

 

The Scheduled tasks window contains the list of scheduled tasks, including their name, type, corresponding module, execution mode, special settings, and the time when the task was last triggered.

 

All defined tasks appear in the list of scheduled tasks, but execution of a particular task can be enabled or disabled with the check-box located to the left of the task name. To modify, delete, or execute a task, or to learn more details about a particular task, right-click the line and select an option from the context menu.
