Command Line Options for Microsoft AntiSpyware (beta 1)
It has been a busy few months on the Anti-Spyware team, and I have learned a lot about the product while supporting millions of users in a newsgroup format. Here is a cool feature I ran into the other day…executing antispyware with switches through the command line!
To do this, open up a command prompt and change to the c:\program files\microsoft antispyware directory. Then use the switches below:
GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe [-parameters] [-parameters]
-update : start an update check
-scan : scan [-optional scan parameters]
Optional scan parameters: [-withMainUI]
[-schedule]
[-withUI]
[-withResultUI]
Here is an example: “GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe -scan –withui -withresultsui -schedule ”
Feel free to play with the switches and let me know if it is beneficial to be able to do this.
