Syntax :
executable /parameter
the following commands are supported:
/auto = run adaware in automatic mode
No user input is required, ad-aware will automatically scan and remove any recognized spyware reference.
We recommend passing the /log parameter along with the /auto parameter.
/hide = minimize while running
Ad-aware does not show up while scanning.
This parameter makes only sense if automatically mode is set too.
/log (destination) = creates and saves logfile to the destination path
i.e. /log C:\Temp will store an logfile in the C:\Temp folder, containing the date and time of scanning in the filename.
Please notice that this path will not be created by ad-aware, if the specified path is invalid, the logs will
be placed in the ad-aware folder.
if no destination path is given, logs will also be saved to the ad-aware folder.
/full = performs a complete scan
if this parameter is used, Ad-aware will scan the memory, registry and all fixed drives, ignoring the user-configuration
specified in the configuration menu.
example:
ad-aware.exe /auto /hide /log
This will run Ad-aware minimized, in automatic mode, and automatically storing a logfile.
There is a sample batchfile included in your Ad-aware installation, you can open and modifie it with Notepad.
Important:
If Ad-aware detects that Web3000 has been installed, and replaced Wsock32.dll,
no Web3000 references will be removed automatically.
