Trigger a MalwareBytes scan in the background without activating it

[newcod3r]

The free version doesn't have scheduled scans - I was wondering if ahk can trigger a scan in the background without the user seeing in the foreground?

I only know how to trigger it if the window is active (i.e. user will still see a short flash).

was looking for a similar solution and have the same problem here - can't trigger it silently in the background. please help!

this is my attempt:

Code: Select all

loop {                           
  if A_WDay between 1 and 7   ; Monday to Sunday        
  {
    if (A_Hour = 12) and (A_Min = 02)   ; is time 4:49pm?
    GoSub, GoThere
  }
}
return

GoThere:
Winactivate, ahk_exe mbam.exe
WinWaitActive,ahk_exe mbam.exe,,3
SendInput {Tab 9}{Enter}
Sleep 1000
SendInput {Tab 10}{Enter}
Sleep 100
WinMinimize,ahk_exe mbam.exe

return
