Along with a name for each task, the Console window shows the path and filename for the program that the task will run at the scheduled time. Tasks that you create will always run the VirusScan application. Your newly created tasks will appear at the bottom of the Console window. the Console also shows the time and date on which each task last ran, and the time and date on which it will next run. The toolbar at the top of the Console window gives you quick access to the program's most common commands. To have this toolbar display only its command buttons, click View, point to Toolbar, then choose Standard Buttons. User's Guide 193
