Reportedly the computer has to be idle for four hours before a scan will run?

So, don't touch your machine for half a workday, and then see if the scan ran.  ;-)

Also reportedly you can disable this but then the scan will run at the time specified, with no arguments allowed.

The scheduled scan works on the office machine with FEP, fails on the home computer with MSE. I tried changing the schedule on the home computer, in case it was conflicting with other scheduled tasks on my computer, and that didn't help any -- the scheduled scan still fails to run.
