Wake for Virus Scan

Go to the Task Scheduler and look for the scheduled virus scan. Double click on the task, then go to conditions and select the conditions you want.

To keep wifi from stopping sleep, go to the Device Manager and then Network Adapters, then Power Management, and deselect the option to allow waking up.
