If you have a scheduled task running or are planning to schedule a task, you can have Windows automatically run the scheduled task when your computer goes into idle mode. Simply follow these steps:
1. Go to 'Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks'
2. Click on the "Add Scheduled Task' icon
3. Click on the 'Next 'button and select a program to schedule
4. Click 'Next' then select the 'Daily' radio button
5. Click 'Next' until you rach the last screen then select the 'Open Advanced Properties For This Task When I click Finish' check box and then click on the 'Finish' button
6. Click on the 'Settings' tab near the top of the new dialog box
7. In the Idle Time section, select the "Only start the task if the computer has been idle for at least' check box
8. Select how long you want your computer to be idle before starting the scheduled task
9. Click 'Apply' then OK
From now on, Windows will run the scheduled task when your computer is idle for the specified time you chose. However, Windows could run the scheduled task numerous times a day, depending on how many times your computer goes into idle mode.

Surfing the internet is fun and exciting.
Surfing the internet is fun and exciting but if don’t have a good scan to rid your computer of the bugs it picks up then you will run into some problems. My search for a good scanner led me to the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy. This is one of the best scans that I’ve ever used and it’s available at http://www.Search-and-destroy.com. I believe that you will like Search-and-destroy Antispyware as much as I do if you give it a try. It works great and cost less than many of the other options you will find when it comes to antispyware scanners.
