Writing a batch file to download level 1 IT utilities such as combofix/malwarebytes

[JoeSamo]

So I am using WGET for this since it doesn't seem possible with vanilla windows. Does anyone know of a way to download certain anti-virus utilities with a batch file weekly? Basically combofix, malwarebytes, super anti-spyware and other things like that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't know how you would download files with a Batch file (I'm pretty new at it) but I do think it is possible. Once you get that figured out just use Task Scheduler to have the batch file run whenever you want.

Well if you download WGET you can do it. Thats why I mentioned it at the top. You can check out wget from here http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/

Yeah that looks like it would work. Alternately you could use PowerShell if you are doing all of the downloads with a fully booted system. I have not used it yet but I hear it is a bit easier once you get the commands down and it does have some better functionality.

Can I ask what the purpose of this would be? Yeah combofix has updates and would have to download a new version every so often but Malwarebytes and Superantispyware, you only download the updates not the whole program itself.
