command line help

[mholmes]

not sure if im in the right place or not but having issue getting malwarebytes to run in command line.

 

Pardon my sloppy code:

Private Sub Button3_Click_1(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click        If bol32 = False And bol64 = False Then            MsgBox("Please Select A OS Type", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Error: No OS Selected")        Else            Try                If bol32 = True Then                    Shell("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscan")                ElseIf bol64 = True Then                    Shell("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe /quickscan")                End If            Catch                MsgBox("Failed To Start Malwarebytes Process", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Processing Error")            End Try        End If    End Sub

Its telling me the file path does not exsist. When I go into command prompt I get the same thing. Pretty sue the shell command is correct but not sure where I made my mistake.

this works but I really would like to get it to auto quick scan for me

Private Sub Button3_Click_1(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click        If bol32 = False And bol64 = False Then            MsgBox("Please Select A OS Type", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Error: No OS Selected")        Else            Try                If bol32 = True Then                    Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")                ElseIf bol64 = True Then                    Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe")                End If            Catch                MsgBox("Failed To Start Malwarebytes Process", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Processing Error")            End Try        End If    End Sub

Hello and

Are you using the Free Version or Paid Pro version, as the Free version does not support a lot of DOS commands....?

The command isn't /quickscan, that's why it's not working. It is /scan -quick (note the space between /scan and -quick). Additional commands can be found in the help file included with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Why;  /scan -quick

 

and not

 

/scan /quick

 

or

 

-scan -quick  ?

[exile360]

Why;  /scan -quick

 

and not

 

/scan /quick

 

or

 

-scan -quick  ?

Because the first is a switch, the second is a parameter/modifier for the switch. For example, if you wanted to perform a Flash scan, have it run silently, have it save a scan log regardless of user settings, remove any detected threats and reboot the system if required to complete the threat removal process it would be:

/scan -flash -silent -remove -log -reboot
