Hi,
I'm looking to roll SSAD into a script and so want to run it all from the command line. I'm just in the testing stage at the moment but simply can't get it to begin a scan via the command line. I don't know if it requires an initial scan to take place before you can run others from the command line, if this is the case then I will need to look elsewhere as this is no good to me. I plan to silently install and then scan all via command line interfaces.
I already know that I can get the command line options with /help when running a module.
When running sdscan /help I can see the flags /scan which says "Starts a scan immediately" and /autoclean "initiates automatic removal of results"
I have tried running:
sdscan.exe /scan
sdscan.exe /autoclean
In both cases I just get the GUI titled "System Scan (Spybot - s&d 2.4, administrator priviledges)" with the option to "start scan" in the left pane and three boxes "Last System scan" (Your computer has not been scanned yet), "tracking cookies" (congrats, 1 browser profile rejected 3rd party cookies) and "range of detections" with a "get antivirus!" button.
I would expect the GUI to open and the scan to start, why is this not happening?? Is this because an initial system scan hasn't taken place and it's being funny about it?
I've managed to get other flags working such as ./sdupdate.exe /autoupdate however I noticed I had updated for the first time BEFORE I ran this command and it ran fine.
Is there another executable I should be running?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
