I'm trying to see how much I can trim down the size of Spybot, for use on a USB drive. The only functionalities necessary for my purposes are those of scanning, detection, and removal.
First, I copied my Spybot installation from my C drive to my USB drive. It weighed in at 13.5MB. So far I've been able to trim it down to about 7.7MB by removing the following:
all language files
all non-English versions of the license txt.
all skins
Resident help file
TeaTimer.exe
Blindman.exe
SDHelper.dll
Startup.tnfo
all files in the 'Updates' folder except downloaded.ini
Is SDHelper.dll needed only for Resident/TeaTimer? What about the other DLLs in the root directory, and the .sbs files in the 'Includes' folder? I know the .sbi files are needed for scanning/detection. I'm basicallly just trying to get rid of all files that are not needed for scanning/detection/removal, in order to get the amount of space Spybot takes up as low as possible.
Any help would be appreciated. :)
