Scheduled Task Alert Options
[Main]

Trojan Remover examines all applications set up as Scheduled Tasks. If the file is suspect an Alert screen will be displayed. Clicking on the Details button will open the Malware Reference Database and provide details on the Malware, if they are available.

Where possible further information on the Scheduled Task will also be presented, giving details of last and next run times, etc.

On this Alert screen you have the following options:

Take no action on this Scheduled Task

If you select this option no action will be taken on the scheduled program. The Scheduled Task will remain in place, and if enabled and scheduled, will continue to run at its scheduled time(s). You should select this option if you do not wish to take action immediately, perhaps preferring to submit the referenced file for analysis before deciding what action to take.

Delete this Scheduled Task (no action will be taken on the called file)

Select this option if you wish to remove this Scheduled Task. The program referenced will then no longer run at the scheduled time(s). The program file itself will remain in place.

Delete this Scheduled Task and disable the called file

Select this option to remove the Scheduled Task, and disable the called file by renaming it. Trojan Remover will (if it can) remove the Scheduled Task. Then the called file will be renamed in order to disable it. If the file cannot be renamed immediately Trojan Remover will rename the file when the PC is restarted. You should select this option when you are sure that the called file is malicious.

Exclude this Scheduled Task from future scans

You should select this option if you no longer want Trojan Remover to show an alert screen for this file. No action will be taken on the file. If you select this option, the file will be excluded from all future scans, unless and until you remove it from the "Excluded Files" list using File > Manage Excluded Files
. You should choose this option if you are sure that the referenced file is not malicious.

Select the required option and click on the OK
button.

Clicking on the Stop Scan
button will stop the remainder of the scan. No Action will be taken on this Scheduled Task.
