just a little help is all

Hello everyone I'm a noob but would appreciate your help.

What I'm doing is setting up for a auto scan with SuperAntiSpyware free edition.

There is only an option to auto scan when you start up your computer and I like to leave my computer on for days & or weeks so thats why i'm making this script.

The issue I am running into is I can scan and it finds threats, but when threats are detected or not detected there will be a message box that is different for both of them.

There is a total of 2 different message boxes that popup. What I am looking for is some code that can have all 2 options for the message boxes but if one is not present just skip it and go on to the next part of my script.

So for example when I scan my computer and find 100 threats a message box will popup and say found 100 threats push ok.

but then when it scans again it doesn't find any threats a message box will popup and say no threats detected push ok. but AutoIt is hung up waiting for the threats detected message box with my current script. I need to have it be able to skip the threats detected box and move on to the next part of the script.so it needs to do one popup box or the other and never both its one or the other.

how should I script it to just move on if the popup is not there?

here is what i need to skip or run.

; mesage boxe says no harmfull threats detected
if MsgBox("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complet") then
ControlClick("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complet","Button1")
sleep(100)
EndIf

This one needs to skip to this one only if no threats are detected and vise versa one or the other.

;mesage box says found threats push ok... to go to main screen (click ok to remove msgbox)
If MsgBox("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complet") Then
ControlClick("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complet","Button1")
sleep(100)

You need to use WinExists() instead of MsgBox() and put both options inside a loop:

While 1
    ; mesage boxe says no harmfull threats detected
    If WinExists("SUPERAntiSpyware", "Quarantine and Removal Complet") Then
        ControlClick("SUPERAntiSpyware", "Quarantine and Removal Complet", "Button1")
    EndIf
    ;mesage box says found threats push ok... to go to main screen (click ok to remove msgbox)
    If WinExists("SUPERAntiSpyware", "Quarantine and Removal Complet") Then
        ControlClick("SUPERAntiSpyware", "Quarantine and Removal Complet", "Button1")
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

;message box says no harmful threats detected
if MsgBox("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complete") then
    ControlClick("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complet","Button1")
    sleep(100)

;message box says found threats push ok... to go to main screen (click ok to remove msgbox)
ElseIf MsgBox("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complete") Then
    ControlClick("SUPERAntiSpyware","Quarantine and Removal Complete","Button1")
    sleep(100)

Else
    
EndIf

That should do it

Just put in whatever you require if needed to do so.

However, IMHO you should NEVER automate Virus Scanning.

Thank you very much Mass Spammer, and shanet! your the man I mean women.

I was totally looking in the wrong places I was looking at the ,variables, do, & functions.

This is what exactly I was looking for and I do commend you both on your speedy responses!

However, IMHO you should NEVER automate Virus Scanning

If I can ask Shanet what is your professional reason for condoning the automation of virus scanning?

Your welcome

I wouldnt really say 'professional' as such, rather more common sense (which is not that common).

Basically, if there is a virus alert, you should know about it. That way, you have a better knowledge of what is happening on your system.
