I have repeatedly run the installer (Spybotsd15.exe). Each install has setup a directory and subdirectories in my system temp file (c:\windows\temp). IT APPEARS THAT THE INSTALLER IS FAULTY!

Directory of C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\Spybot - Search & Destroy

. <DIR> 10-10-07 3:00a .

These same folders are also installed in another location:

All other Spybot program folders and files are installed in:

THE PERMANENT PLACEMENT OF PROGRAM FOLDERS AND PROGRAM DATA FILES IN THE SYSTEM DIRECTORY IS CERTAINLY NOT CORRECT NOT TO MENTION THE DUPLICATION OF FOLDERS!
