Snooze scans on Mac machines for future executions

briva

I am professor at a University and the mac laptop supplied to me by the IT Dept has a scan job scheduled to run everyday at midnight.

However, I rarely have my machine up at that time and every mornings when I login, the scan is performed and this slows my machine down and makes it impossible to use.

I would like to know if someone has a solution to this or knows how to pause or postpone scans on mac machines.

Thank you

    My suggestion would be to contact the helpdesk for your uni and state the problem. If it were me I wouldn't just say 'stop the scan', I'd say 'I go to lunch at 1pm, could you change the policy so the scan runs then'. Or 'I finish up around 6pm, so could you set the scan to start at 10 past and I'll leave it on' - basically it's important to run a scan so 'haggle' for a better time.............................
