    Screen Saver/Idle Detection Option

    Could you add an option such that when enabled, Blink only runs updates or performs scans or performs maintenance (or anything else that will increase CPU load) IF AND ONLY IF the screen saver is active (or the PC has been idle for a specified period)?  (if it not idle or screensaver active then it should have a configurable retry period similar to Windows scheduled tasks).

    Blink may be "light weight" compared to many alternatives but updates and scans do still have a significant and noticeable impact on performance, I think this feature should be relatively easy to add and it would be a very significant improvement in terms of usability.

    TIA

    This was getting frustrating but a quick poke around and it looks like this and more can actually already be achieved by setting up Windows scheduled tasks on ...\Program Files\eEye Digital Security\Blink\Scripts\*.vbs

    A very pleasant surprise, good work guys!
