Here is a list of command line parameters that the Spybot-S&D main executable (SpybotSD.exe) supports:
- /taskbarhide
Runs Spybot-S&D completely hidden (no window, no taskbar icon), so make absolutely sure you use it only in combination with /autoclose (otherwise it would remain in memory sitting idle). Useful only in combination with /autocheck, /autoupdate or /autoimmunize, as it cannot be controlled when completely invisible.
- /minimized
Starts the window minimized.
- /uninstall
Uninstalls Spybot-S&D. This command line parameter is very outdated - unins000.exe should be used instead!
- /blinduser
Starts with support for blind users (special menus).
- /autoupdate
Does an update after starting the program.
- /autocheck
Starts scanning immediately.
- /autofix
Fixes problems after scan.
- /autoclose
Closes program after it has scanned or updated.
- /autoimmunize
Runs the immunization at program start.
- /onlyspyware
Fixes only spyware (red) entries with /autofix, leaving all usage tracks as they are.
- /easymode
Starts with easier interface for beginners.
- /createenglish
Updates the English.sbl language file with the newest texts; useful only for translators.
And here is a list of command line parameters that the Spybot-S&D installer (spybotsd15.exe) supports:
- /sp-
Will skip the first page of the installation wizard (Do you wish to continue? ...)
- /silent
Will display the progress during installation, but not the wizard.
- /verysilent
Even the progress will not be shown. Errors etc. would still be shown.
- /surpressmsgboxes
Will use standard actions for message boxes (no overwriting of files, cancelling where the alternative would be retrying...)
- /log (or /log="filename")
Creates a log file in the temp folder that contains detailed information about actions taking place during the installation.
- /nocancel
Disables the Cancel and Close button. Useful with /silent.
- /norestart
Suppress reboots even if they were necessary at the end of the installation.
- /restartexitcode=N
If a restart is needed, the setup would return the specified exit code.
- /loadinf="filename" (and /saveinf="filename")
Can be used to use a saved setup configuration (or save one).
- /lang=language
Overrides the language dialog with a predefined language. Use ISO 2 letter language describers here.
- /dir="x:\dirname"
Installs into that directory instead of the default one.
- /group="folder name"
Installs into a program group of that name instead of the default one.
- /noicons
Avoids creation of any icons for the installed software.
- /type=typename
Starts installation with a give type. Supported types are
- /components="comma separated list of component names"
Installs the given components instead of the default ones. Supported components are
- main,
- blind (icons for blind users),
- language (all language files),

- updatedl (for downloading updates as part of the installation),
- updatew95 (to download prerequisites on Windows 95),
- SDWinSec (to install the Security Center integration on Vista),
- SDShredder (to install the stand-alone shredder), and
- SDDelFile (to install the file removal helper).

- /mergetasks="comma separated list of tasks"
Same as /tasks, just with the exception that standard tasks are not disabled by default.
