How do I know if my scheduled scan is running or did in fact run?

[HughJass]

I see no indication that my scheduled system scan ever ran. In my history log, I see the Real-Time Scan event at approximately one minute before my scheduled scan and then one minute after. But no mention of my scheduled scan started or completed.

Hi, my Mac is running High Sierra V 10.13.6. My Internet Security is V 4.5.9.0 (431) downloaded from AT&T.

Hi @HughJass 

Please check the Document ID: TS102126 in service.mcafee.com to confirm that a scheduled scan has started or completed successfully.

Hi @Sudhakar_A_K , Thank you for referring me to document TS102126. It was helpful in identifying my scheduled scan working using the Mac Process Monitor tool. However it also states the History in Internet Security would reflect the scan. Unfortunately my History log doesn't reflect my scheduled scan as being run at all. I think the History in the Mac version is buggy or isn't maintained by McAfee.
