between the application startup and the task startup.
After every update. The task starts after each update of the application databases.
If a scan update did not start for any reason (for example, the computer was shut down at that time), you can configure
the missed task to start automatically as soon as it becomes possible. To do this, check the Run task if skipped box in
the schedule window.
RUNNING SCAN TASKS UNDER THE USER ACCOUNT
The option of running tasks under different user account is implemented in the application. This service is disabled by
default and tasks are started under the current account, with which you are registered in OS.
For example, running the scan task can require access rights to the object being scanned. Using this service you can
configure running a task under the account of the user, possessing the necessary privileges.
