Macro Recorder to run SpyWare Doctor

[screamer]

Has anyone attempted to use a Macro recorder / player app in order to run SWD. I'm thinking of this since SpyWare Doctor only runs intelli-scan or full scan on a schedule. What I need to run is a custom scan on schedule.

hopefully the new version will have scheduled custom scans?:confused:

you could try doing it with a batchfile

the code would need to look something like this:
@echo off
"c:\program files\spyware doctor\swdoctor.exe" /{commandline switch}
echo scan compleated!
pause
exit

does anyone know what commandline swiches that spyware doctor supports?

Hi, I thought Spyware Doctor 5 already has scheduled task under Setting/Scheduled Tasks to allow you to set a run scan at various time options. However, I do have to admit that it can do better with an extra option of Custom Scan added under the scan options. The time options set to scan are all very configurable as you can set it to scan at any time you want and however you want it to.

The only scheduled scans SWD can do are "Intelli & FUll scan"

SWD "Should have an "scheduled" option for a "Custom Scan" eg. I use FD-ISR and I really don't need / want all my snapshots being scanned. It'sa total waste of time. I know the folders / files I want scanned and would like to set up SWD to follow my rules.

Also SWD should have a "Context Menu" scanner so one could scan new downloaded files w/ a right click.

I've D/L'd a few Macro Recorders but I haven't put in the time to actually get them to perform optimally w/ SWD.

I'll post the results when they're available. Let's hope the developers beat me to it ;)

when you download a file spyware doctor automatically scans it

it would be nice however if pctools provided a list of comman line switches that spyware doctor supports:) The only scheduled scans SWD can do are "Intelli & FUll scan"

I use this macro software to automate many computer tasks. http://www.tethyssolutions.com/macro-automation.htm

It has wizards to automate Spyware detection programs and defragment hard disk etc. I haven't used it with Spyware doctor though. May be I will give it a try.
