Confused Amused Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Kind of old, but has anyone successfully done this before? I think I've tried most of the common switches, but nothing seems to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused Amused Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 That didn't seem to work. I still get the "Setup will install Webroot Spy Sweeper (Subscriber's Version) to your computer. Continue setup?" message with a Yes or No selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman75 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Not sure if this will help you or not, but I use this for version 3.2, installing with WPI%cdrom%\\Apps\\Spyware\\Setup.exe /DIR="%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\Spysweeper\\" /VERYSILENT /NORESTARTIf all else fails autoit, or get a newer version.

jrf2027 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Definitely get the newer version. Some of the more nasty, newer spyware and malware cannot be removed with anything less than 3.0. 2.0 does not have the ability to prevent programs from re-installing themselves at startup, whereas 3.x does. Plus, the newer version is an Inno Setup, so it's fully silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused Amused Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I didn't know that. I assumed since the definitions of 2.6 were always updated that it'd be ok. I'll probably go pick up a copy today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrf2027 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Save yourself a trip to the store - just go to the Webroot home page (http://www.webroot.com/). It has the most up-to-date version, you'll have it in about a minute, and you won't have to pay tax.As far as the definitions...I thought that too, until looking at a friend's system that had 2.6 on it and seeing that it was infested with spyware. The program would delete it, but the stuff had edited itself into the startup routine, so that it would re-install upon reboot. Man, this stuff is getting nasty!
