I just upgraded to the latest program version, and now I try to plan a unique full scan that would start automatically and shut down the computer when the scan is finished.
So I go to my full scan tab options and plan a scan (please see screenshot below), but my computer just won’t start even if I select “Wake the computer if needed”
(I don’t know the exact parameter name in English sorry, I’m using French interface).
I would need some help.
Using latest verion of Avast Free, Windows XP SP3.
I thought there would be no problem with that because it is a desktop computer and I deactivated any battery/hibernating related options.
I didn’t try other tasks to see if they could wake up the computer.
But you are surely right. Your link points to a process that I can use just to wake up the computer; no matter what little program I’ll make it start with, it will then launch a scan…
I’ll try and give feedback.
(PS: If it works, then we can consider that the “Wake computer” check box in avast unfortunately just doesn’t work!)
