I have used the Microsoft Task Scheduler to schedule my Malwarebytes updates and full scan since I can't get the Malwarebytes scheduler to work. The thing that is bothering me is that each time the scan starts, the GUI opens. How can I stop this? I want the scan to run without the GUI open.

There are a couple different suggestions floating around on the internet, in some it mentions /fullauto, and in others it mentions mbam.exe -silent.

Try these, or see below.

A full list of the usable switches is in the help file, according to this website: http://malwaretips.com/threads/mbam-command-line-parameters.12235/

mbam.exe /parameter (where parameter is one of the following)

/debug: allows you to collect information to send as a bug report.

/developer: this command line parameter is explained in the false positives section.

/minimized: allows you to start the program minimized.

/quickscan: allows you to run a quick scan.

/quickscanterminate: allows you to run a quick scan. Program terminates if no items found.

/fullscan: allows you to run a full scan.

/fullscanterminate: allows you to run a full scan. Program terminates if no items found.

/runupdate: allows you to update the program without displaying result dialogs.

/register: allows you to register the program without displaying main dialog.

/fullauto: allows you to run a full scan silently.

Example: mbam.exe /register 12345 AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD

/updateshowdialog: allows you to update the program displaying all dialogs.

/schedule : allows you to schedule an update and scan for a specific hour. Scan will happen 5 minutes after update.
