Hi Nepatsfan:
Thanks for your reply. Here's some more detail. Right now I have configured
AVG Anti-virus and Windows Defender to do scheduled scans late at night. I
have done this from each application and it all works well if I leave the
PC running and do not go into a standby state. If I go into a standby state,
the scheduled scans do not run (presumably Windows does not wake up).
Do I need to do my scheduling through "Scheduled Tasks" rather from the
application if I have the PC go into a standby state. If this is the case,
would I need to know how to pass the appropriate parameters so, for example,
I could choose whether to do a full scan or a quick scan from Windows
Defender.

I am running WIN XP Pro. I have an Intel D865 mother board.
I find that if I set it up to automatically go into "standby" after a
period
of inactivity, it will not wake up to do a scheduled task (such as a
viral
scan). If this the way the operating system was designed or do I have a
problem?
thanks....ralph
See if this helps.
Go to Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks and right click the task in
question.
Select Properties from the menu.
In the task's properties sheet, click on the Settings tab.
Put a check mark in the box next to "Wake the computer to run this task".
Click OK.
Good luck
