Hi Guys

I`m getting a message on my windows defender to say I haven`t scanned in "somemany"days.(I have it set to scan daily) ,when I react to the message and scan,nothing is found,but when i log back on again its says I havent scanned in somany days again !!

I`ve looked at the website but cant` find anything that relates to defender amnesia,have windows XP and my version of defender is 1.61.1497.0

any help will appreciated !!

What happens if you untick Windows Defender in ccleaner applications then do a scan, does it still say you haven't done a scan?

To my utter embarassment I`ve logged on again and the Defender message has stopped !and it has logged my last scan.It was saying you haven`t scanned for three days even though I had.I`ll wait and see if it does`nt log when i scan and after three days it might message me again,But for the moment i think its behaving itself,I do appreciate your reply hazelnut :wub:

Hazelnut !!

I`ve had a "you haven`t scanned in 5 days"message ! and yes i think your correct Sherlockhazelnut I scanned and then ran CCleaner and the defender log was cleared to a date of 10/7/09 of last scan,not today of 16/7/09.

I wonder wether its best to leave it un checked in CCleaner or just live with the annoying error message?
