By default, the tool schedules a scan to run at midnight (your local timezone) on the day you sign-up, and every 30 days thereafter. Though you do have the option to edit or delete this scan if you want to coordinate your own date and time.
All users can initiate scans-on-demand, but those with a Pro, Premium and Vanguard subscription have the added ability to schedule unlimited scans in advance (either as a one-off, or to recur on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis).
