Hello
Spybot–S&D version 1.6.0.31 has been installed on my computer. I have downloaded its 1.6.2 version. Is uninstalling an old version necessary before installing the new one?

Hi Mehran,

it's not really necessary but I've heard from some problems. I always recommend an complete (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/uninstall.html) un-install before installing the new version. ;) In the end, it's your decision. :)

Best regards,
