Hi
Is there any way I can password protect spybot (or any other software) so that it cannot be uninstalled without a password. I know some programs such as K9 web filter cannot be uninstalled without a password and I was wondering if I can do the same for spybot.
Giving other users limited account access is not an option.

Thanks

There're some programs which can make protect files with password. You can protect uninstallation by protecting a uninstaller file. When it's protected, try to uninstall it. Maybe it will success. The spybot's uninstaller is unins000.exe which is located in (by default) C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
