How To Schedule Tasks To Auto-Run

[Guest]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to schedule programs like ad-aware,
spysubtract and etc. to run using the task scheduler. I can set up the
times and everything fine but then all it does if make the program pop-up.
How do i get it to actually scan since im trying to set it to do these in the
middle of the night? I couldnt get defragmentor to auto-run but i got it
now. but i cant make other pograms like it scan . disk cleanup for example.

You need to enter the correct command line, including all required
arguments. Otherwise, all you're doing is opening the program.

my run command line for adaware is:
C:\PROGRA~1\Lavasoft\AD-AWA~1\Ad-Aware.exe /full but it still just starts
up, no action after that. and the one i really wanted to get working is
spysubtract too though

"/Full" parameter requires Ad-Aware Plus or higher (Professional Edition)

For SpySubtract, check their knowledgebase: Answers (Page 1 of 16):

Keyword: "schedule" returns two results.
