Daylight Savings Time and the Auto-Scan



So, this morning, I get up and wake up my laptop. I have a big meeting later this morning and I need to finish up some notes and gather some other information together. I check the clock, and note that it has already adjusted for daylight savings time. That’s good, I can move on.

Then I realize that my Microsoft Security Essentials icon is yellow with an exclamation point. This means something is amiss, and I click it to see. It says I haven’t done a scan since last Sunday March 7th, and I might be “at risk.” That’s odd, as I have it set to auto-scan every week, on Sunday. At 2 a.m.

But there was no 2 a.m. today, as it got bumped by Daylight Savings Time to 3 a.m. What a funny fluke. I had to run a manual scan this morning to take care of it. I am pretty sure the Sunday 2 a.m. setting was the default when I loaded MSE, so I’m wondering if anyone else running the program may end up having a little yellow caution note this morning as well.
