Afternoon
again information to inform others who might be
interested in the program. Pccillin can be set to
schedule system scan(s) at any predetermined time in
the settings under Virus scan-scan tasks tasks can
be added/edited or deleted as need be (they can also
be temporarily disabled if required). The default
installation appears to have quite a few items in the
scan task list so its possible that through out the
day it wasn't performing the same task but different
ones at their preset times. The other possibility
is/was Email scans each time you were checking email
?
Its been 8 months since you had a Pccillin 2002 ?
I'm wondering if possibly you had one of the very
early releases where this might have been a possible
bug that was corrected at a later time
Please don't take these the wrong way I am in no way
trying to put down Lee's emails only trying to
provide information for others who might be
interested in using Pccillin.
