That's quite a load there. Those kind of tasks seem too large and dynamic to automate, unless there was a tool specifically made for such automation. I'd recommend simply making a hotkey that will run Adaware, Spybot, and Defragmenter (or whatever defrag software you have), so you can start it yourself. It wouldn't be that much harder I think. Simply run the appropriate .exe's. If you want, you could even tile them on the screen using WinMove, so you wouldn't even have to switch windows.

Well, spybot has File>Check For Problems, so maybe a winMenuItem will do. (too lazy to try it out.) Although there is nothing about updating it. Defrag... apparently, there is a command line defrag, though there is no gui at all, not even text progress indicators. You won't know the progress. (it's "defrag".)

Windows disk defragmenter can also be run via the command-line-

I want to set up an automated script to do the defrag, spyware and antivirus scan. However, the defrag part is not OK. Here is the code-part:

Code:
if(driveFreeSpace/(driveCapacity/100)>15)
   {
   Run C:\WINDOWS\system32\defrag.exe C:\ /v >C:\Documents and Settings\[...]\defraglog_C.txt
   Process, WaitClose, defrag.exe
   MsgBox, defrag finished.
   }


It doesn't run off, just pop up the cmd window, and jump immediately to the MsgBox. :S Variables and expressions are ok.
What am I missing?

try putting %comspec% /c before the rest of the defrag command in the run.

I tried, but no differance. :S Could you be a bit more specific, I might have misread your previous comment. Where should I put that exactly?

Code:
Run %comspec% /k C:\WINDOWS\system32\defrag.exe C:\ -v > C:\Documents and Settings\[...]\defraglog_C.txt


use -v instead of /v, but run this like (/k is Keep, /c would be Close) to see what your error is. It may not support saving the output to a file with >. You migh need to use CMDRet (search forum for the CMDRet script)

Code:
Run %comspec% /k C:\WINDOWS\system32\defrag.exe C: -v > defraglog_C.txt

appears to work, just set A_WorkingDir before you start to put the file where you want.
