mandrakeman49, if you don't want to schedule your Full Scans, you can do what I do.
I set it to "do not schedule this scan", and as peterweb says, make sure computer is set to stay on.
I run a full scan once a week, just before I back up.

Click on Settings - Computer - Computer Scan, then click on Configure beside Full System Scan. Look for a box for After Scan Completion. Make sure that is set to Stay On.
Hi mandrakeman49:
I agree with peterweb that this sounds like a issue with your NIS scan settings, but if his suggestion doesn't work could you please tell us if you have (or previously had) any other anti-virus software installed on your PC?
One of your older threads mentioned that you were going to install Kaspersky AV on your system (see here), and your PDF in post # 8 indicates that you currently have McAfee software on your system. If you have other anti-virus programs running background tasks when your system goes into idle mode it could be conflicting with your NIS installation.

As you can see from further messages that picture is helpful and I suspect they are putting you on the right track!
