To run a sweep now:
Scheduling Sweeps
You can schedule sweeps to run on one or more specific days at a specific time.
You can schedule sweeps by group or for the whole company. Below are some things to consider
when setting up scheduled sweeps:
• Avoid scheduling sweeps at the same time as anti-virus scans.
• Schedule different groups to sweep at different times to reduce load on the company
server when clients report their results.
• You can schedule Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 clients to sweep during off-hours as
long as the system remains powered on (even with the user logged out). For Windows 98,
98SE, and ME systems, the user will need to be logged in to execute a scheduled sweep.
You need to let users know when their sweep is scheduled to make sure they leave their
computer in the proper state for the sweep to run.
• Spy Sweeper intelligently throttles its disk usage to allow users to access the disk but will
continue through the sweep even if there are repeated interruptions.
