Default SD 5 V.174 - Always says that last scan was TODAY!
Has anyone else found that SD5 V.174 always says that the latest Scan was today and also the latest Smart Update was also today even though neither were TODAY!

Installed v5.174 yesterday, which isn't causing any overt problem thus-far, and have updated only twice. I'll watch this to see if mine behaves as you've described.

Hi petercardiff,

I haven't experienced the problem described yet. I will also monitor this concern as well.

Default New version Available notice when none is available
I got a different probelm with 174 on first day of install, Status screen always showed that a new version is available even tho no smart updates were available. Problem was some how gone when I started my machine second day.

Default Same thing and then some
I have the same thing on 2 computers. I'm not sure SD 174 has ever scanned either computer, as it is not set up to scan on boot up.

Furthermore, I have the same version on 2 computers and one machine has Email Guard and the other had it with 172 but not with 174.

This is from an old thread and has been reported already:

Managed to find it and looks like a fix is being worked on.

Cheers,

Hi petercardiff,

Yes. I'm seeing the same. Looks like SD is in perpetual "today" mode.

I wonder, does the program trigger (or suppose to) a 24 hour timer after a scan? Or is it watching the system clock, wanting to trigger post midnight? Or .. what?

Speaking of scans .. maybe I've just not found it yet, but where are the scan logs accessed?

Hi
Scan logs are accessed thorugh Settings > History. You can export the logs as text files.
