Configuring a SpywareBlaster Reminder

NOTE: These steps will remind you update SpywareBlaster on a monthly basis. This is optional - but would be a good practice. You need to use the Windows Add Scheduled Task wizard to open SpywareBlaster. Once it is open, you can check for updates.

Click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools and then Scheduled Tasks.
Double-click the Add Scheduled Task icon. Click Next.
Wait while Windows builds a list of available programs. Scroll down in the list of programs.

NOTE: You will see both "SpywareBlaster" and "SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate Configuration" in the list. Do not choose the SpywareBlaster AutoUpdate Configuration. This will only work if you have purchased a subscription to SpywareBlaster


Select SpywareBlaster and click Next.
You may leave the name of the task as SpywareBlaster.
Select the Monthly radio button. Click Next.
Edit the Start time to a time of your choice.

Select the Day radio button. Click Next.
KEY STEP FOR USERS WHOSE MACHINES ARE IN A "DOMAIN":
In the Enter the user name field, enter your Domain followed by a backslash and your username.
Ex: AG\vcv1
If your computer is NOT in a "Domain", you should enter whatever username you used to login to the computer.

Enter your password twice. Click Next. Click Finish.
To test if it will run at this time, in the Scheduled Tasks control panel, Right Click on the SpywareBlaster task and choose Run.
SpywareBlaster should open. If it does, you may exit SpywareBlaster.
