hi.igor.what i was doing was going into tasks and right clicking on scan local disks.create copy.and after i create the copy i right click the copy and go to properties and set the settings i want and then i go to scheduling and i press add.i name the task copy of scan local disks.i then set the scheduleing type and set the time for the scan and press ok a box pops up telling me avast encountered a problem.and also another box pops up telling me that avast has encountered a problem and needs to close.it gives me the option to send a error report or not ??? ???.i have tryed it five times now and its the same every time.i realy hope this helps to get this fixed… ???

Ah, I see, you scheduled it directly from the task properties, not from the Scheduler folder (where it works).
Thanks!

Of course it’s a bug! ;D It just doesn’t show when doing the schedule in the folder…
