Running Malwarebytes in CMD window

[johnnybor]

I want to be able to run malwarebytes from a command line to open up and start a quick scan how would I do that, ?

[Firefox]

Hello and Welcome:

There is no CLI (command line) options to do what your wanting in the latest version of Malwarebytes Consumer version.

If you needed CLI you would have to be on the business version.

Can I use a script of some sort to start it and then run it under windows task manager?

[Firefox]

Everything you need to run in a CLI or script is already available in the Premium Version of Malwarebytes, and you can configure scheduled scans and updates.

What exactly are you trying to do?

[johnnybor]

Is there a way to send results of a completed scan to email or text?

[Firefox]

As far as I know, no there is not, at least not in the home consumer version, Malwarebytes Premium v2.

The business version may have that ability but I am not sure.

Is this something your trying to do for a business?

We would have to wait for someone from staff to confirm that.

[johnnybor]

No its not for business but just makes it easier for me to do this to my computers I guess I can run it on a schedule but would like to know how each computer I have is completed and able to send text message or email . would be great feature to add rather than using a automation program to do it for me.

I doubt normal consumers needs a such feature to be honest. This is mostly something you would see in business version of software.

I agree but that was not my question. I guess I will try to find a answer elsewhere unless someone has more input on the question at hand, thanks

You were already given the ONLY and correct answer. The business version is the ONLY one that can give you the features you want. This is by DESIGN due to ABUSE of the home version in businesses.

Hello @johnnybor

I'm sorry but at this time there is no support for any type of commandline use in the Consumer product. Both commandline support and mailing of logs is supported with the business version. There are no current plans to add such features to the Consumer version that I'm aware of. 

If you know scripting you can setup a script and something like Blat to email you the logs if you like.

Thank you again
