Anyway to schedule spybot to update

[munkifisht]

Is there a way to schedule spybot to update definitions as well as run tests?

Scheduling:

Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Scheduler > if the Edit button is grayed out click Add > click the Edit button. You should now be in the Spybot- Search and Destroy – Scheduled Task dialog. In the Task tab look at the "Run:" line of the dialog. You can add/change the "command line parameters" the end of the "Run:" line.

For additional information on scheduling parameters that can be used, see the following:

Spybot uses the OS scheduler. In Windows XP the user account that adds the Schedule Tasks entry must have a password. See:
Scheduled Tasks cannot run with a blank password

There is workaround for the password requirement in Windows XP that 100mill (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=2965) was considerate enough to share with us. See the following thread:
