I installed the new version 1.5.2.20 over my existing version 1.4 a few days ago.

Works great, however I noticed while in my "Add or Remove Programs" list, that I now have 2 listings for Spybot S&D :scratch:

The first is titled "Spybot - Search & Destroy", and lists the Size as 36.52MB, Last Used On: 2/21/2008.

The second is titled "Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2.20", Size as 22.35MB, Last Used On: 12/30/2007.

In hindsight, I'm guessing I should have uninstalled v1.4 before installing the new version...:red:

Do I need to uninstall "both" now and reinstall from scratch, or can I just go in the registry and delete one of the Uninstall entries, and if so, which one?

Otherwise, I'm very pleased with the new version!:cool:

You can just leave it as is,if you don't mind the two entries in add/remove programs.
