Would this be possible?

Would something like this be possible by writing it within VB.net?

I would like for a program to open up Lavasoft's Ad-Aware, check for any
updates available on the web by clicking on their update button, then if
there is an update, download and install it, if there isn't, go ahead and do
the next thing such as do a full scan of the hard drive and check for
spyware. - Basically what I'm trying to get at is doing everything on
autopilot/automatically like a script.

And then have it open Spybot and then Microsoft's Anti-Spyware and so fourth
and so on.

Is this even remotely possible through using VB.net? If not, what language
is capable of doing this?

Hi,

You could do this with vb.net. However I know microsoft
antispyware beta will automatically update itself and believe the others
will also.

Here is how to download a file

sendkeys ( with the shortcuts )
