Automating MalwareBytes updates and scans

UPDATE:  Since I wrote this article, Malwarebytes has blocked the ability to do this in their free version.  And you don't need a batch file to accomplish this in the paid version.  It really is worth upgrading to their paid version.  It's still the best thing out there, from what I've seen.

Create a batch file, naming it whatever you want, with the .BAT extension.  I named mine “mbamupdate.bat”
To create the file, just use Notepad or any plain text editor (not a word processing program unless you know how to Save As plain text).
The contents of this file are simply one line consisting of the following:
"%ProgramFiles%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" /minimized /runupdate /quickscanterminate
That should all be on one line.  And that’s it!
