Use a Batch Command to Update Malwarebytes'

[iPanik]

I have set MBAM to update once a week through the windows task scheduler and i don't get any UAC promts.
Task scheduler is the most underrated tool in windows.

Glad it continues to work well pranay, and yes, batch files and task scheduler, some of the most basic and things that are often overlooked can sometimes be the most useful and simplest.

Thanks, I will look into. I do agree with you that it's overlooked.

OT: I know PeerBlock takes advantage of Task Scheduler.

If you review the info I provided in the link earlier on it uses Task Scheduler to automate this whole process for MBAM of course which I imagine you already have seen.

I had a look at the link, but I want to do it myself.

I've set it up in Task Scheduler, but I have one small minor issue and that is after the update completes, it shows a window that it has been updated. Where you must click OK. Is there a way from Task Scheduler or Batch to automate that window.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the link provides the info to automate via Task Scheduler so that MBAM updates, then terminates the ok for the update, then opens and scans the system. You will use the exe named KILL Update Confirmation.exe and have it scheduled like 3 minutes after the Malwarebytes Update.exe scheduled task has completed, lastly you would have scheduled Malwarebytes Quick Scan.exe which completes the setup. Basically create 3 tasks and execute those three items allowing enough time between each so that each make complete their tasks, it is all detail in the readme.txt which is included, if you need or haven't located it let me know and I will simply paste it all into a PM that you may copy to a text file for future reference. I created each of the tasks from within XP, Vista x86 and x64 so that I could account for the proper paths then exported each task that I might simply import them on a new build and drop the .exe files into the MBAM directory.

Hope that helps, if not let me know and we can discuss it further.
