I am using windows vista and i was checking the hard drive for some weird changes in the storage space i have experienced lately, so i went to check the installed programs and it says this:

Name: Spybot - Search & Destroy Editor: Safe Networking Limited
Name: Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2.20 Editor: Safe Networking Ltd.

one after the other, why do i have two of them listed if the other one is an update.

ANd more importantly, why can't i find the SpybotSD.exe inside the spybot search & destroy folder in program files? i already set the system to show me all the invisible files...

Is this normal? not being able to locate the .exe file?

I'm on Windows XP, but I think the following may help you under Windows Vista also.

Since the title of your thread was:


Can't find SpybotSD.exe
I'll start there:

the exe file is still not showing up...
I tried it before, but i tried it again anyway...
if i launch the application from the shortcut it works fine but there's no .exe file showing up at all in the folder after changing the view options
