Hi all :)

I hope this is the right thread for my question! It is my first posting :red:

Going through my Add + Remove Programs in the Control panel I notice 2 copies of Spybot. One has a square icon with a magnifying glass and when I click 'support information' it says Version 1.5.2. It is 23.63MB.
The other has a Round icon (The Globe I think) with a magnifying glass, and in 'support information' it says Version 1.5.2.20. It is 33.51MB.

My Question is:
Have I somehow doubled up on the program, maybe when up-dating? OR are they both needed?

Kind regards
Habina

No they are not both needed. But if uninstall either via add and remove programs you will most likely uninstall Spybot.

Plaese read my suggestion in post #5 (http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=166540&postcount=5) of the following thread:
S&D 1.5.2 to 1.5.2.20

Hi md usa spybot fan :)

Thank you for answer! I have uninstalled the one you recommend in the other thread: S&D 1.5.2 to 1.5.2.20 I did it in Add + Remove Programs, it worked a treat, it left the one which shoud be there untouched.

Thank you for helping! The thread can be closed as far as I am concerned :)

Kind regards
