I have mine go at 3:17 a.m. so when I wake up at around 7, I can delete what it finds, then do it again in safe mode before I start work at around 8 or 8:30 (working from home kicks ass).
Unfortanetly I'm not too computer savy. I wouldn't know if I already have virus protection or where to get if I didn't, or which one would be best, or how to set it to run at a certain time, or how to turn it off, or stop it from blocking certain downloads.

I'm sorry if my ignorance is making things complicated, but I'm not stupid or anything- so if I can just get an answer that makes sense one time I'll be set forever, which would be very much appreciated as I need a fast computer with all the music I've been downloading.
