Guest Ruby Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 New HP laptop with Vista installed. My Windows Defender is "on" and set to scan at 2am each morning. However, there is no record of a previous scan. Does Windows Defender scan while in sleep mode or do I need to change the start time?

Guest Smithsonian Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 No. Your computer would have to be ON. No processes or services will run in standby. I sugest you change your can time.

Guest Ruby Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Since this is a home computer not necessarily live at any particular time I will need to manually scan from time to time.
