Hi Ishe; I have saved the Malware Byte script you provided as a " .TXT " file. I have tried going into the file menu and doing a " save as " to a " .BAT " file but, i don't come up with an option to save it as a " .BAT " file. Do I take the Malware Bytes.txt and change the file extension to " .BAT ?" I have absolutely no experience with batch files and so I am wondering, how do I save this script as a batch file? Would you be so kind as to provide the list with steps on how to save a script / .TXT file, as a batch file? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thank so much for your help. Take care. Mike

But what I find is that you schedule it using the Scheduled Tasks applet. However, you do not schedule the MalwareBytes executable directly because it will refuse to be scheduled. Instead, you should use a batch file like: @ECHO OFF CD %PROGRAMFILES%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\ mbam.exe /scan -full You can save this batch script somewhere and then go to Scheduled Tasks. When the Wizard requires you to provide the name of the program to be run, simply browse to where you saved the batch script and add it. The rest is simple: provide the time to be run and when the time comes, your scheduler will run this batch script which will in turn fire off your Malware antivirus. Obviously, since this is a quick response, you may need to fine tune this script to provide for eventualities like errors, but I believe you can even pass the logging option to Malware such as /log then the name of the file to be logged all errors. If you need any help, you are free to seek clarification offline especially other command line options for Malware. Hope this helps, Ishe We all have the right to be wrong in our opinions but not in our facts. ----- Original Message ----- From: "yvonne oliver" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] malware > hello > thank you for that > gave it a try but told i do not have permission to do this task > > Yvonne > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ishe Chinyoka" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 7:21 PM > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] malware > > >> You can add it on a scheduled task list from the control panel. >> >> Ishe >> We all have the right to be wrong in our opinions but not in our facts. >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "yvonne oliver" <[email protected]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2010 7:41 PM >> Subject: [Blind-Computing] malware >> >> >>> hello >>> i have had malwarebytes downloaded and installed. >>> it works very well indeed but i wonder is it possible to configure >>> malwarebytes to do a scheduled scan? >>> i know this is possible using m s e because i have this set to 2 in the >>> morning. >>> but i can find no way to set up a scheduled request for malwarebytes to >>> automatically scan at a set time >>> so i am wondering if this is able to be done or is it just manually done >>> each time i want to use it >>> thank you >>> Yvonne >>> For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: >>> http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ >> >> >> For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: >> http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
