Spybot in remote support environment- Questions

[Broken.one]

Hello. I am a remote support technician. I do alot of work remotly for various clients who cannot afford full time IT staff. At least one per week I conduct some sort of Virus/Malware/Trojan/etc.. removal. I use a variety of ways to connect to my clients as my work environment is growing and evolving.

Here are my questions:

1) If I am installing and running Spybot using remote management software, is the local system account sufficient for installation? what about scans? I do have the ability to run processes as an Admin but I wanted to know what the recommendation was on this.

2) Is there any documentation on the setup of the INF files (used with /LOADINF flag)? Is there any documentation on silent installation scenarios for Spybot 2.0? I have seen alot for prior versions

3) What are the limits of the Technician license? It states 1 tech and an arbitrary number of computers.



Essential my end goal is to integrate my spy-bot license into a scripted event similar to the Tron Script (http://www.reddit.com/r/TronScript/). It is the necesarry spyware/malware element. I have items for the disk cleanup, MRT and MSERT scans can be scripted, as well as HitmanPro, McAfee stinger etc.. It would still only be used for a single support case at a time (i may purchase more if I need multiple threads).

I essentaily need to know where I can find information on the automated installation, scanning and removal. I did not have much luck when I ran

C:\Windows\Temp\Spybot2_License.exe /verysilent /suppressmsgboxes /log=C:\Programdata\RMM\Logs\ /noicons

This installed Spybot, but when I ran SpybotSD.exe /taskbarhide /autoupdate /autocheck /autofix /autoclose the scan seemed to never complete correctly.


Any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it is a link to a guide (i have been looking). Any documentation I find saves me hours.

P.S. -- Is there any way to specify a log file output location for a specific scan? (like the /log=flag on the installer.)

Thanks again.

So far I have this
Silent instalation commands
%LOCATIONOFINSTALLER%\Spybot\Spybotinst.exe /verysilent /closeapplications /suppressmsgboxes /log=c:\LOGLOCATIONS\Spybot\installog.txt /dir="c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\" /noicons /saveinf=c:\windows\ltsvc\packages\Spybot\Installation.inf

The /saveinf flag does not seem to be working for me as I was hoping this would generate an answer file I could use with the install (and possibly modify ). This portion can probably omitted but it hasn't caused me any errors.

Running this on a system running ESET does not cause any issues. I have not tested with other local AV (though I do know there is a conflict with BitDefender and some of the definition update sites).

AS far as running the scans the events (in order):

1) IN-House temp file cleanup (because I am not sure how to run this useing the spybot CLI flags)
2) "c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\sdupdate" /autoupdate /silent /autoclose
3) "c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\sdimmunize.exe" /savelog /scan /immunize /silent /taskbarhide /autoclose
4) "c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\sdscan.exe" /scan /autoclean /silent /taskbarhide /autoclose
5) "c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\sdcleaner" /silent /taskbarhide /autoclean /autoclose
6) "c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\sdsysrepair.exe" /silent /taskbarhide /scan /autorepair /autoclose
7) "c:\Program Files\SpybotSD\sdlogreport" /autocreate /silent /taskbarhide

Of course I will have to logic out the script to run these in tandem instead of simultaneous. I am also working on a solution to the elevation requirements.

In any case if anyone else has any contributions it would be appreciated.
