Scheduler for all PC Cleanup Utilities

[tmaclean]

I've recently begun doing independent computer repair and I was curious, is there a way to create a mass scheduler for AVG, Ad-Aware, and Spybot to run one after another? For the people I deal with, I have written out instructions on how to use all three, but I'm afraid that even though the directions are very clear, my customers may have a hard time doing all that it takes to keep a PC clean. If I could, I'd like to just make one Schedule Task that a person could click on and leave their computer sitting for a couple hours while all of the programs auto-run. I know that it would make things a ton easier, but maybe I'm just dreaming! Thanks to everyone in advance.

Do you think the AVG Anti-Malware does a better job than the combination of the three aforementioned programs?

It does a good enough job you can be confident your customers are being well taken care of. The AVG antispyware has active protection (resident shield) just like the antivirus. There are no free antispyware apps out there that I'm aware of that have active protection except Windows Defender.

Spyware Terminator has real-time protection.

Does it have a scheduler?

Yes, Spyware Terminator does have a scheduler included.

the AVG free edition has a scheduled scan and update, i have it do both in early hours of morning, i use windows scheduler to do defrag of hard drive and i run the adaware search once a week manually takes hardly any time.

If Spyware Terminator has a scheduler and active protection, that in conjunction with free AVG antivirus should serve your customers adequately. Just set up the schedulers to do their thing at a convenient time and tell the customer to make sure the computer is on at that time.
