BatchFile/CmdScript to run Ad-aware, Spybot, AV s/w

[Ummagumma]

OS: XP Home Edition

I would like a batch file or command script that would
accomplish the following on demand:

1) Execute Ad-aware (do in depth scan), when scan has
completed, Ad-aware should not automatically fix
problems, but rather it should pause at the stage where
the user decides what to do, e.g., quarantine, ignore...
Then:
2) Execute Spybot - Search & Destroy, when scan has
completed, SpybotSD should not automatically fix
problems, but rather it should pause at the stage where
the user decides what to do, e.g., fix selected problems,
ignore... Then:
3) Execute Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2004
(TMPCcIS).

Ideally, the batch file or command script would also
automatically check for, download and install any
existing updates prior to executing the three programs.

The idea being that in one fell swoop, I'd like to tell
my computer to execute all three programs, walk away from
it, and return some time later to take care of any
problems.

I tried the following DOS batch (.bat) file, but it
didn't work:

ScanFiles.bat
Start /wait /b d:\Progra~1\Ad-awa~1\Ad-aware.exe +a +1
start /wait /b d:\Progra~1\Spybot~1
\SpybotSD.exe /autocheck

Here's one link to Ad-aware command line parameters:

Here's one link to SpybotSD command line parameters:

I'm waiting for a reply from Trend Micro regarding
command line parameters.

You don't need the Start /wait portion. If you're going to leave them unattended, they'll run just fine together.

Both programs have an internal option to automatically check for updates when loading.
