Having problems--not getting the automatic scan (Windows XP-SP2). Read
previous threads. Went to CP/Performance & Maintenance/Scheduled Tasks/
Advanced Tabs/view hidden tasks--and found MP Scheduled Tasks--which
is Windows Defender. It shows that automatic scan has never occured (although
it is enabled). Under settings--I even chose to wake the computer to perform
the
task. The WD newgroup is out of commission. Any suggestions?? Thanks

In Windows Defender select Tools, Options. Is Automatic Scanning
enabled?

Hope this helps.
