I have three antispyware and an antivirus software installed. Is there someone who can provide me with a short tutorial on how to create .bat files, which would update the programs and execute them. I know that I can use WinXP Scheduled Tasks; however, I don't think that would do the update before running the program. I'd like for them to run during the night while I'm asleep. After using the maintenance routine outlined at http://www.tweakxp.com/article37549.aspx, I think it'd be great if I could use a similar setup to the antispyware and antivirus programs . . . including updating them just before they are executed. Thanks in advance for your responses. Dan _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: E-mail. Chat. Share.
