Good morning,

With the pending release of Spybot S&D 1.6 right around the corner I am trying to determine the correct way to install it.

Should I completely uninstall my current 1.5 version first or will the new version come with an option to just update to 1.6?

Thanks and regards,

and i dont think you get spybot 1.6 through the updater in spybot, but i really dont know because i always uninstall spybot before installing the new one.

Problem is that if you manage to install the new version over the old one, there might be a problem because there will be two Spybot-SD entries in the ADD/REMVOE PROGRAMS window.

Since v.1.4 there has been a "program update" via the integrated updater. However, I would suggest you go the extra step to prevent confusion and install Spybot-SD 1.6 manually.
