Go into Spybot » Mode > Advanced mode » Tools » Uninstall Info. Select the two entries one at a time and delete the entry where:
  • The name of the entry does not contain a GLID "({B4092C6D-E886-4CB2-BA68-FE5A88D31DE6}_is1)".
  • The "uninstall cmd" does not point to the unins00x.exe of where you installed the software.
If both entries have those features, than delete the one with the oldest "install date".

If you are not sure which entry to delete, right click on the listing and "Copy to clipboard". Then paste (Ctrl+V) those results to a new post in this thread editing out all entries except the two Spybot entries.
