    Default Kaspersky Uninstalling SpyBot

    Kaspersky takes the liberty of uninstalling SpyBot without the users consent, so, is there any way to prevent this happening when installing Kaspersky?

    Hello Mike,

    We are sorry to hear this.
    But we have not found any incompatibility.
    If some parts would conflict, just those parts could be disabled.

    That's the way to to disable the resident feature of Spybot - Search & Destroy: run Spybot-S&D, switch to the "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" --> hit "YES" --> select "Tools" in the navigation bar on the left --> "Resident" and there you can untick the checkboxes in front of the two tools.

    We are not happy with the new marketing strategy that software like Kaspersky use to kick competitors out of the business.
    Please do also have a look at this link on our homepage.

    We recommend a fresh install of Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    You will find links to several download locations on our website:
