Command line parameters... |
Ad-aware v4.0 can be run with additional parameters.
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 sense only if automatic mode is also used.
/log (destination)
= Creates and saves log file to the destination
path
i.e. /log
C:\Temp will store a log file 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 store a log file.
There is a sample
batch file included in your Ad-aware installation, you can open and modify
it with Notepad.
Important:
If Ad-aware
detects that Web3000 has been installed, and replaced Wsock32.dll,
no Web3000 references
will be removed automatically.
