Why does N360 keep asking me to run a Smart Scan? Just do it automatically!

I just got rid of my Kaspersky even though I had 2 more years on it.  And I'm a new user to Norton 360 so this may be a dumb question.  But I get this message several times:  "It's been a while - how about we fire up the Smart Scan?" ... "It's been 7 days since your last scan."

Surely it has scanned my system in the past 7 days??  If it recommends that I run a Smart Scan, how can I just make it do it without bothering me?  It does have a button "Don't show again" at the bottom.  But I do want it to run it..  just don't show me the message and run it when I'm not using my pc.

Thanks in advance..  I couldn't find the version number of 360, but I just installed it 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for the replies.  I think it's not that important for me, so I'll just 'Not show it anymore' next time it pops up.
