Download Scan for Antivirus AND antispyware softw.

[JimB]

I downloaded an Antispyware program called Ewido that found some spyware that had a High risk level item in a downloaded zip file.

Because the file was already some time on my HD and I luckily never installed the exe or unpacked the zip I thought it might be interesting if my files on top of the regular AntiVirus scan, would be scanned by the antispyware tool. Most antispyware tools don't have a right click file menu option to scan a particular file for spyware. This Ewido antispywre tool has that option.

Could there be an implementation to do more jobs on a file (like this antispyware scan for example) after its download ?

Does Ewido work from the command line?

You might be able to create a .bat file that sends the file to be scanned to both your antivirus and antispyware

You would point this extension to the .bat file and the .bat file would do something like:

@echo  off
cd /d "d:\program files\myantivirus"
myantivirus.exe %1
cd /d "d:\program files\myantispyware"
myantispyware.exe %1

Sorry 4 the late reply, but I couldn't find the way back to the forum.
I guess Ewido works from the command line
Lately when I R-clicked a big folder and choose scan with Ewido from my R-click menu; I saw under processes that "Ewido.exe" used a lot more resources tha normal.

I'll try the bat and report back to you if all goes well

What is this @echo off in the code ? and the cd /d ?

I understand both of my exe's are on my C in the program files folders. Should the line not be in that case cd /d "c:\program files\Ewido
Ewido.exe %1

echo off just tell the program not to print out all the following instructions in the console window - doesn't affect any functionality

That would probably work too, doesn't matter

Hey,
I am new here, I have heard about ewido but can not use it yet..
I am also looking for a good anti-spyware for my system, actually I was used and anti-spyware 'Adware Alert' from www.adwarealert.com and this is really very bad, affect my system, and not working at all while scanning , downloading and other process is almost impossible , they also can not be easily removed from my system and I was formatted my system to remove this

Cheers
