View Full Version : S&D Uninstalled, But Still Appears In Windows Security Center

I am running Vista Home Premium.

I uninstalled Spybot S&D 1.5 using Add/Remove Programs, manually removed S&D-related directories, and also used the registry tool provided on the Safer Networking site.

When I go to the Windows Security Center under Malware Protection, I can view "Show me the anitspyware programs on this computer". It shows me that Spybot Search & Destroy's status is "snoozed".

Does anyone know why this entry is still being shown even though I've uninstalled the program? Is there a way to clean this out?

Thanks!
