Overnight scan

[Guest Bugen]

I am trying to get MBAM to perform a full system scan remove the threats then shutdown.

Since there is no option in MBAM to do this I resorted to the command line

This my test script so far:

cd c:\program files (x86)\malwarebytes' anti-malware
GOTO ONE
:ONE
mbam.exe /errorsilent /update -silent /scan -flash -log -remove
GOTO TWO
:TWO
shutdown /s /t 120

The /errorsilent, /update -silent, and -log are there as preferences. -flash will be replaced with -full

Hello Bugen:

How has it worked for you so far?

[Guest Bugen]

I have been away for a couple of days so have not had a chance to work on it.

There are three steps to this script:

1. cd c:\program files (x86)\malwarebytes' anti-malware

2. mbam.exe /errorsilent /update -silent /scan -flash -log -remove

3. shutdown /s /t 120

I know malwarebytes can reboot after scan but i want it to shutdown.

I need a script to run this line:

mbam.exe /errorsilent /update -silent /scan -flash -log -remove

then shutdown

The script i made in post 1 did this command cd c:\program files (x86)\malwarebytes' anti-malware then this one shutdown /s /t 120 mbam never started scanning.

Hello Bugen:

Does the system in question already have MBAM PRO installed and running?

[exile360]

The /update and /scan switches cannot be used in the same line, they must be executed separately, so do the update first, then the scan, then a line to shut the system down and that should accomplish what you're trying to do.

I have mbam pro running and trying exile360's instructions now.

[Guest Bugen]

exile's instructions worked perfectly thank you guys so much.

Here is my current script THAT WORKS:

cd c:\program files (x86)\malwarebytes' anti-malware
GOTO ONE
:ONE
mbam.exe /errorsilent /update -silent
GOTO TWO
:TWO
mbam.exe /errorsilent /scan -flash -log -remove -silent
GOTO THREE
:THREE
shutdown /s /t 120
