Batch file for spybot

How would I make a batch file to open spybot and start scanning my compuer at a certain time? Also, is there anyway to make it select all of the problems it finds and fix them, or would I have to do that myself?

In Spybot's settings select the options:-

Run check on program start
Fix all problems on program start
Don't ask for fixing confirmation (Optional)
Search the web for new versions at program start
Download updated include files if available online

The batch file would need to contain the line

C:\Progra~1\Spybot~1\Spybotsd.exe

This presumes that Spybot is installed to the default location.

Use Task Manager to launch the batch file at the specified time.

You wouldn't actually need to use a batch file. Just use the shortcut in the task scheduler (not task manager. They're two different things).

Or, just use spybot's scheduler found under settings > scheduler.
