[QUOTE="Tom172, post: 27061, member: 22"] [I][B]09/06/2014[/B][/I] [B]Note: This guide does not work with newer versions of Malwarebytes (v2.0 onwards). It may be updated if possible in the future.[/B] In this guide I'll show you how to create some useful Automated tasks for Malwarebytes Anti Malware free version. First, we'll start with updating automatically. To get started, you'll need to create a batch file. To do this open up notepad and enter the following code: [B]For 64-bit users only[/B] [code]@echo off "C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /update[/code] [B]For 32-bit users only[/B] [code]@echo off "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /update[/code] Then save the file by going to file > Save As : Name the file [I][B]MalwarebytesUpdate.bat[/B][/I] and where it says "Save as type" select "All files" and then click save. That's your batch file done. Make sure to store the file(s) somewhere where they are not likely to be deleted. Now to create the scheduled task that will perform the update automatically. Type "Task scheduler" into the start menu search box and press enter. Click Create Task on the right hand pane. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qeeTA.png[/IMG] Next you'll name the task. Make sure to select the option to run the task with highest privileges. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zvcHm.png[/IMG] Next you can set up when you'd like the task to run. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YESF3.png[/IMG] Now you will select the Action to perform. You want to start a program. Next browse to the location where you created your batch file. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZG8vx.png[/IMG] You can leave the last two tabs ( Conditions and settings) as they are, however feel free to adjust them. Now just click OK and your task is created. Malwarebytes will now update automatically at the given time you specified. [SIZE=5][I]How to schedule a full scan or quick scan[/I][/SIZE] To schedule a full scan or quick scan is the same process as above, however we have to make an alteration to the code in the batch file: [I]Quick Scan code:[/I] [B]For 64-bit only[/B] [code]@echo off "C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /scan[/code] [B]For 32-bit only[/B] [code]@echo off "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /scan[/code] [I]Full Scan code:[/I] [B]For 64-bit only[/B] [code]@echo off "C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /fullscan[/code] [B]For 32-bit only[/B] [code]@echo off "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /fullscan [/code] Repeat the same process as above in order to schedule these tasks.
