    Windows Defender: "You Haven't Scanned."
    Every few days I get an error message from Windows Defender (in Vista HP) that I haven't scanned the computer in (now 16) days and suggesting that I schedule a daily scan. But further down the message itself says that a daily "quick" scan is scheduled for 2AM. That must be the default; of course the machine is never on at that time so I don't know whether it can work. But I do know I have scanned it manually as well at least twice in the last 2 weeks when I got the same error message. Still, I just checked the history and it's empty. Any ideas? Thanks.

    This might be a software bug, which window defender can answer.

    I don't understand. Is there something I should do?
