This installs Spybot Search & Destroy version 1.4 - a free (as in beer) spyware removal program. To install, get two files from http://www.safer-networking.org -  # spybotsd14.exe# spybotsd_includes.exe Exerpt from packages.xml:  <package id="spybotsd14" name="Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="1"> <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Spybot - Search &amp;amp; Destroy 1.4" /> <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\spybotsd14\spybotsd14.exe" /silent /nocancel /noreboot' /> <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\spybotsd14\spybotsd_includes.exe" /S' /> <upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\spybotsd14\spybotsd_includes.exe" /S' /> <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search &amp;amp; Destroy\unins000.exe" /SILENT /nocancel' /> </package> As the Spybot S&D detection rules need to be updated from time to time and the program's internal update mechanisms (or the mirrors) suck, the easiest way to update all the clients is such: # download the new spybotsd_includes.exe file into the server# increment the revision counter by one '''NB!''' The &amp;amp; in paths that have &amp; (ampersand) in them is no typo. If you use just the ampersand character, it will break your XML handling.== Running Spybot S&D using WPKG == You '''could''' also run the program once using the following package, although i recommend against it, as there might be problems that cannot be resolved without user interaction. And it should preferrably be run when computer is idle and there wasn't a nervous user behind the keyboard who has just logged in and is itching to mess things up. The priority must be set lower than installation package.  <package id="spybotsd14-run" name="run Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0" execute="once"> <install cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\Spybot - Search &amp;amp; Destroy\SpybotSD.exe" /autocheck /autofix /autoimmunize /taskbarhide /autoclose' /> </package> If you feel like running it again, increment its revision number. [[category:Silent Installers|Spybot Search & Destroy]]
