684648 2008-07-02 09:16:00 Hi. I'm running XP SP3. I have had Avast! running as a scheduled task for several months and have just added CCleaner, scheduled once a week. Since adding the latter, the former does not run as scheduled. Any ideas? Cheers. A Team (13613)
684649 2008-07-02 22:15:00 If the problem has been caused by CCleaner you may have to go to options in CCleaner & exclude Avast from the list. Driftwood (5551)
684650 2008-07-02 22:18:00 If its Home, you'll have to configure it (however you did it), since Avast Home doesnt support it Speedy Gonzales (78)
684651 2008-07-03 09:40:00 Hi, Driftwood. Thanks. I have added the Avast! folders to the excluded folders in CCleaner. Not sure if it'll work. I'll watch at next scheduled antivirus sweep time. Ta.
Hi, Speedy G. It is Avast! Home, but the Scheduled Task I'm talking about (which has been working) is the one in XP (Control Panel), not the one within Avast! as, as you say, that is not available in this edition.

I'll repost if what I have now done is successful. Meantime, any other ideas?

Cheers.

I just changed the secheduled time in the Scheduled Task of Avast to a short time in the future and it automatically started. I wonder whether it depends which of the two Tasks was loaded / modified last?
