This is a question obviously from someone who knows very little about their computer..I have both Spybot 1.6.0 and 1.4 listed in my Control Panel. Is the 1.6.0. the newer one and can I delete the other?

I suggest that you do not attempt to remove the extra entry via Add or Remove programs. That is likely to uninstall Spybot. To eliminate the extra entry:
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.
My current entry look like this:
Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.0 ({B4092C6D-E886-4CB2-BA68-FE5A88D31DE6}_is1)
install date: 20080708
install location: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
uninstall cmd: "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\unins000.exe"
