Here is a list of command line parameters that the Spybot-S&D main executable (spybotsd.exe) supports:
- /taskbarhide
Runs Spybot-S&D completely hidden (no window, no taskbar icon), so make absolutely sure you use it only in combination with /autoclose (otherwise it would remain in memory sitting idle). Useful only in combination with /autocheck, /autoupdate or /autoimmunize, as it cannot be controlled when completely invisible.
- /minimized
Starts the window minimized.
- /uninstall
Uninstalls Spybot-S&D. This command line parameter is very outdated - unins00.exe should be used instead!
- /blinduser
Starts with support for blind users (special menus).
- /autoupdate
Does an update after starting the program.
- /autocheck
Starts scanning immediately.
- /autofix
Fixes problems after scan.
- /autoclose
Closes program after it has scanned or updated.
- /autoimmunize
Runs the immunization at program start.
- /onlyspyware
Fixes only spyware (red) entries with /autofix, leaving all usage tracks as they are.
- /easymode
Starts with easier interface for newbies.
- /allhives
Scans all (including inactive) Windows installations for Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
And here is a list of command line parameters that the Spybot-S&D installer (spybotsd14.exe) supports:
- /silent
Will display the progress during installation, but not the wizard.
- /verysilent
Even the progress will not be shown. Errors etc. would still be shown.
- /nocancel
Disables the Cancel and Close button. Useful with /silent.
- /dir="x:\dirname"
Installs into that directory instead of the default one.
- /group="folder name"
Installs into a program group of that name instead of the default one.
- /noicons
Avoids creation of any icons for the installed software.
- /components="comma separated list of component names"
Installs the given components instead of the default ones. Components are main, blind (icons for blind users), language (all language files) and skins.
Note: Please be aware that the Spybot-S&D path has to be in quotation marks and multiple parameters have to be separated by a space.
Example: "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /taskbarhide /autoclose /autocheck /autofix /onlyspyware
