Issue with HitmanPro build 118

26Dolphins · 02. Jan 2011, 06:05 PM

Hi everyone.

I have the following issue with Hitman Pro build 118 on a Win XP SP3 PC:
The setting for "Scan computer daily during startup" won't stay ticked. I go into "Settings", tick it with Quick Scan selected (as recommended). Click on OK and Close.
When I reopen Hitman Pro, the setting is unticked. This happens every single time I try to "schedule" it. So, I run the quick scans manually, every time I check for an update (daily).

I have not activated the License, as the scans come clean.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I saw this on Wilders but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

"The "Scan computer daily during startup" waits 24 hours before another scan if started during startup. The manual scan should reset the 24 hour clock though but I am unsure. A registry key is written when a completed scan took place. The scan at startup looks at this key to see whether it needs to run".

Possibly this could apply in your case?
