Avira Professional Security Howto

3. Creating jobs in the scheduler
Scheduler
The Avira Professional Security offers an integrated scheduler in order to plan onetime
or regular jobs like e.g. updates and scans.
You should enter the settings for the scheduler after the installation in order to make
updates and scans automatically.
Start the Avira Control Center and select the button Administration > Scheduler.
Choose “Insert new jobs” in the toolbar. Then define a name (e.g. Internet update or
weekly scan) and a short description of the job. Enter the kind of job (in case of an
update, select “update job” and in case of a scan, choose “scan job”)
For scan jobs you can define which profile should be used for the scan afterwards.
You can find further information about scan profiles in chapter 4 of this document.
Then configure the time frame when the job should be executed (e.g. immediately /
daily / weekly / interval / single). Afterwards you define the display mode to be used
for the job. In the display mode “invisible” the whole process runs in the background.
The mode “minimized” creates a small control window on the desktop which informs
you about the progress of the job. The mode “maximized” creates a larger window
with additional details about the running job.
Please check if the job is displayed as “enabled” in the overview. A checkmark has to
be set in the corresponding check box.
