    Automating Ad-aware?

     
    Is there a way to automate Ad-aware SE Personal edition (free) to update and scan weekly? maybe a batch file?

    I have been trying to mess around with it, but I dont think the free edition supports using switches to create a .bat file that could automate it and be run thru scheduled tasks.

    If anyone has found a way please post here or get me a link and I would be most appreciative.

    Thanks for the /sarcasm its good to have that sort of thing in a tech forum. I figured it was not possible and that the paid version supported the feature but just wanted to post to make sure. UNLESS you have some valuable information next time dont post and waste my time.

    I've had the paid version (pro) for almost three years and have not yet run across a way to automate the running process.

    The only thing I've noticed with the paid version is that you get Ad-watch. Which is a real-time protection tool and a little more control over the running of custom scans.
    Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?
