    Is there any switch to run this updater program in full silent mode? It's very annoying that you cannot minimize the update dialog. I also have it scheduled via Windows Task Scheduler and i don't want that this dialog interupts my work by popping on screen.

    Re: AntiVir INETUPD.EXE silent mode? - Question

    Hey I'd like to get it to start without making me press the start button from the task scheduler, and another button to close the program later. It always seems to want me to press buttons. I tried this "inetupd /UDE /EXP".

    I could make it start minimized with this string: start "inetupd window" /min inetupd /ude /exp, but it still wants me to click on start. What are you using in Windows Task Scheduler. Yes I know the thread is old, but maybe you are subscribed, together we can get both problems solved.

    Well, removing UDE command will allow it to auto update with out pressing any button. ( Which is better than nothing ) But it will still pop up.

    Is there anyway to make it so that it will always stay minimized?

    We can all work together and get a great solution. Thanks for the tip Bugmenot and Iwod.

    I used these option in the Antivir Scheduler

    /EXP /min

    It seems to work when I ran it and was already up to date.. A flashing Antiver progarm Icon appears in the taskbar, but I ignored it and my screen did not suffer any popup. The flashing went away and the program finished I'd be interested to see if everything is cool when it is not up to date, and when the update fails.

    It also seemed to stop that annoying Antivir notifier program.

    You don't have to interact with that dialog if you run it from AntiVir installation folder. If you run it through tray menu you have to.
    And that flashing thing in taskbar will drop you out of any full screen app which is very annoying trust me.

    The switch /min doesn't do anything.....

    And BTW the update server has been extremely fast.

    I received an update with KB, but it download a new version of VDF file and AVRep.dll, that could be the reason for this difference of sizes...

    Fully automatic updates are a function of the new Premium edition of AntiVir; there will always be a prompt with the free Classic version.

    Having said that, it is seemingly possible (at the momemt at least!) to avoid the update prompt with the incremental-update beta edition - just include the argument "/AD". I've not tried this but apparently it works.

    With regard to minimizing the AntiVir Scheduler, click 'Insert'/'Start Program' then in Window drop down box insert 'Symbol'. You will also need the 'Argument' /exp.

    /AD doesn't work with window built in scheduler.

    Windows Task Scheduler, do you mean? You can run INETUPD.EXE minimized if you launch it via a shortcut and set the shortcut's properties to "Run: Minimized," at least in WinXP Home SP2. Perhaps launch that way from Windows Task Scheduler.

    it wouldn't work because Windows Task Scheduler will auto use the exe file linked via the Shortcut.

    No more update Screen now, right! But that annoying Antivir notifier program still appears after update finished. That last one will now also go away with:

    INETUPD.EXE /NW /AH

    It worked for me (AntiVir 6.31).

    Can anyone test this an reply, plz!

    Hi all

    I've read this topic and first thx to all for the posts.
    My solution now is simple: I just added a registry key in the
    Run linking to the INETUPD with the switches:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Run
    C:\Programme\AVPersonal\INETUPD.EXE /NW /AH (REG_SZ)

    This works perfect!!

    Greetz to all

    Not exactly. Only if you use permanent cable connection. If you use PPPoE DSL or dial-up you can't use it this way.

    Adding run would only run it every time you start the computer.
    Using Window Task Scheduler you can set it to run every 2 - 4 hours.

    Edit: I use this
    "C:\Program Files\AVPersonal\INETUPD.EXE" /EXP /NW

    didn't use the /AH switch, and it still works fine.

    That annoying Antivir notify program came back yesterday. (I used INETUPD.EXE /NW /AH). Looks like someone from AntiVir is reading this thread? Or anyway they again have changed switches. I'm giving up.

    Was also thinking to let the update run as service. Maybe I give it a try, or otherwise look for another anti virus solution. They make big noises about their free Personal Edition and then force you every time to buy. I think times for nag screens for free software belongs to the past.

    BTW, thanks for the last replies!

    I try the "C:\Program Files\AntiVir\INETUPD.EXE" /EXP /NW with the NOD32 scheduler and works very well :)
