I have a WinXP notebook.

I created a bat file, that contains commands to run a Avast Antivirus, AdAware
and Spybot from the
command line in a bat file, that I run nightly.

My firewall Outpost has a spyware scanner but I can not run it in bat mode. When
I ran this, it
detected several spyware program that I did not know about. However, I rarely
ever run it, because
it does not contain a spyware scan that I can schedule.

Is there any free good spyware scanners that I can run from the command line in
bat mode.
I would want it to run and not prompt me and then exit on it's own.

Thanks much,

SpyBot S&D runs by executed with command line switches and you can create a
Scheduled Task
to run on a regular basis or from a BAT or CMD file.

"C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOCHECK /AUTOFIX
/AUTOCLOSE

Isn't this utterly braindead for creating a single report of a likely
infected system?

For the command line functionality this is clear. But running it as a
scheduled task for a single usage, and then the /AUTOFIX switch?
