About CyberMedia Agent

The CyberMedia Agent manages scheduled or automatic background events for CyberMedia applications, such as CyberMedia AntiVirus.

Each CyberMedia application can specify events that occur at scheduled intervals, or that occur in the background as you work. For example, by default CyberMedia AntiVirus schedules a monthly reminder to download the latest antivirus protection file from the network, and as-you-work background virus scans of files as you open them.

The CyberMedia Agent icon [image] appears in the clock area of the Windows taskbar when the Agent is running.

Click your right mouse button on the icon and choose commands from the popup menu.

Choose this...	To do this...

What's Happening	Display a list of events that are occurring now, see their progress, or cancel them.

What's Scheduled	Display a list of scheduled events and reschedule them or turn them off.

Load on Startup	Clear the check next to this command if you do not want the Agent to start when you start Windows.

About	Display information about the Agent.

Close	Shut down the Agent so that scheduled events will not run during the current Windows session.

The popup menu also contains the names of all CyberMedia applications that have scheduled events. If you chose the name of one of the applications, you see a submenu that lets you open the application or change its settings.
