• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here.

Scheduled Task-doesn't d.load/Immunize

I just found out that I can schedule S.D.

I would like clarify that when this program runs it does not download the latest updates and nor does it immunize.

Thanks
 
Firefighter:

When you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Scheduler and use the Add button the following scheduled task is added:
  • Spybot - Search & Destroy - Scheduled Task
By default it is added with a Run parameter of:
  • "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /AUTOCHECK
If you also check "Fix problems after scheduled scan" this additional parameter is added:
  • /AUTOFIX
If you also check "Close program after finishing schedule" this additional parameter is added:
  • /AUTOCLOSE
After the schedule task has been added, additional parameters can be added in either of two ways:
  1. Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Scheduler > click on the Edit button > add the following parameters after the other parameters in the Run statement:
    • /AUTOUPDATE /AUTOIMMUNIZE
  2. Do a Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance (if in category view) > Scheduled Tasks > right click on the Spybot - Search & Destroy - Scheduled Task item > select Properties > add the parameters as above.
