Super Anti Spyware Script

[jessebarto]

does anyone know or have a script to run Super Anti Spyware automatically?

Hello jessebarto.

I believe you have to pay for one of the enterprise/pro versions of SAS in order to unlock command line parameters. They want to ensure they are getting paid for the use of their products.

If you want to force it to perform a Complete Scan automatically you would have to create your own script to do so.

You're probably out of luck on this one, if you're trying to do some "click-less" malware removal.

what about spybot s&d?

Hello jessebarto.

Spybot on the other hand supports quite a few options. Please take a look at this link: http://www.safer-networking.org/faq/are-there-any-command-line-parameters-that-can-be-used-with-spybot-sd/

I read this post and remembered that SAS was one of the few programs I could not get command line parameters for. Searched again but to no avail. I even have the Professional ver and I still cannot see any cmd line switches. So I thought to myself, If I can created scheduled scans with SAS, which I can, then maybe I can see what parameters that are used and make my own script. Wow, I found out they even generate a random number for the actual command, I'm guessing based on your machine. They really don't want anyone using this program in command line mode. Sorry guy.

WinPatrol, Schedule, Task and Tree - That's it!

No Command Line options for Tech edition: http://forums.superantispyware.com/index.php?/topic/7372-portable-technician-version-command-line-parameters/?hl=%2Bcommand+%2Bline

There are command line switches for installation available to site license holders. There are no scanning switches available: http://forums.superantispyware.com/index.php?/topic/3513-command-line-install/?hl=%2Bcommand+%2Bline
Yet they don't list them. I have scoured the SAS site and I'm not able to find any command line options, or switches, etc. posted by a site admin.

SAS Support has posted topic's dated as far back as 2009, that they are working on command line options, but after about 2011 they have apparently stopped pursuing this. I imagine it's simply because they want to generate more sales, and are conflicted about providing the product as free, with robust command line options included. Most Techs at that point wouldn't ever have a use for the other features they include.

When I get some time I'll look around some more.
