Vulnerability scan and scheduled scans acting strange, anyone knows why?

[forum]

I have Total Protection Version 14.0, Build 14.0.9042.  Windows7 professional.  There was some big update a few weeks ago and since then I am having vulnerability scans even though I have checked no option for this to be done,  I have tried checking and unchecking and seems to make no difference, it happens anyway on all machines I have so it is not restricted to any one system.   There does not seem to be anyway to turn it off.  In addition, I have scheduled scans and up to a few weeks ago and for umpteen years that I have had McAfee  I got a full scan, now the scan is some quick scan with just a few items scanned, again on all machines.  Does anyone know if there has been some change in policy that is not reflected in the options given or in the online information provided for scans.  Or are there options I can check that I do not know how to locate.  I have checked as much as I can but can find nothing to indicate why the change.

Thanks for any information that can be provided.

Moved to Vulnerability Scanner as the best spot for this.

It is a known glitch.  Try the following:

Set a scheduled scan and Save that.

Then turn it off again and Save/Apply (sorry I don't have it open at the moment).

That should, we hope, finally stop this "phantom scan".

Thanks!  And really appreciate knowing it is a glitch so don't have to worry about it being my systems.  Will try as you suggest and if that doesn't work will wait till the glitch is fixed.  Hopefully won't get any vulnerability update messages that cause any problems since  carrying out the update is unchecked. given that it is not scheduled.  I regularly check for updates for my system elsewhere and choose to do so at times when my system would not be disrupted.

Re scheduled scans I guess that may also be a glitch.  At any rate for that at least I can do a full manual scan and not depend on the scheduled scan anymore although it was nice to have that feature.  Updates are sometimes not too up..

                  In regards to the 'Scheduled Scans', the (Default) setting is indeed to perform a (Quick Scan) opposed to a (Full Scan) which was the prior setting. In other words, this should not be construed as a 'Glitch'. Should you have any questions or concerns, simply follow Colleague Ex_Brit's suggestions to contact Technical Support.

                    I might add that I see no reason to be concerned, as the (On Access Scanner) is so proficient.

All the Best,

Thank you for the information on the recent change in the default on scheduled scans.
