    I run my tune-up every two weeks and I understand completely why I get the yellow for check for files needing backup.

     

    But everytime I run the tune-up the scan for viruses and other potentially unwanted software always shows yellow and says this task did not complete because tune-up was cancelled.    I did NOT cancel the tune-up!

    Open OneCare and click on change settings. Select the backup tab and turn off the backup if you don't intend to use it. If OneCare runs a tune-up and backup is enabled, but you are going to backup to CD/DVD, you need to complete the tune-up by completing the backup. If you are not doing the backup, you are not completing the tune-up.

    Steve-

    I understand why my "1" icon turns yellow during the tune-up.

    I do a backup every time I do a tune-up and my "1" icon turns green again.

    When I do a tune-up I get grays and check marks for remove unnecessary files, defragment the hard disk & check for needed security undates from microsoft.

    I understand why I get yellow for check for files needing backup during the tune-up.

    But why doesn't it scan for viruses during the tune-up? I always get yellow for scan for viruses and other potentially unwanted software and a line below it saying:

    This task did not complete because tune-up was cancelled. I didn't cancel the tune-up.

    Sorry I misunderstood. If the report at the end of tune-up indicates that the scan didn't complete and you didn't cancel, I think there is either a problem with the report or something is causing the scan to fail. Please contact support when you get a chance -
