I don't like to leave my computer on at night to run Vipre at 1 am and I don't want to set it to run earlier because I might be working on my machine and hate to have it run a deep scan while I'm working. I do like to run my Vipre scan at the end of the day so I manually set my Vipre to run and shut down my computer automatically when it finishes.
Here is how:
When you are finished for the day, open the Vipre program by double clicking the icon on your desktop. (If you don't find the Vipre icon on your desktop look for the icon on the bottom right of your screen on the task bar or click on Start to bring up the Start Menu. Vipre might be listed on the left column of the Start Menu. If not, go to All Programs then to Sunbelt Security then to Vipre).
Once Vipre is open you will see four tabs across the top of the Vipre screen. These are Overview, Scan, Manage and Tools. Click on the Scan tab.
(below is the new screen update 2011, click on the SCAN tab next to the OVERVIEW tab)
The Scan screen will open. Select Deep
System Scan on the top left side of the Scan screen then on the bottom of the Scan screen select shut down computer after scan.
Click on Scan Now.
The scan will begin. It might automatically download some definitions. You can turn off your monitor but leave the computer running. Vipre will deep scan and then will shut down your computer automatically when the scan is done. The scan should take from 20 to 50 minutes.
I do this everyday, once a day, with my computer.
