frustrating uninstall problem...need help ASAP

[tgsam]

I need to uninstall Spybot vs. 1.4 from my computer before my updated McAfee program will install. I have tried all the suggestions on this website, and I am getting the following message: File "C:\\Program Files\Spybot Search & Destroy\iunins000.dt" does not exist. Cannot uninstall.

Any suggestions? In the past I have used McAfee as my virus scanner, and Spybot to keep me protected from spyware. It seems the two now have compatibility problems. I now have NO protection on my computer, as the new McAfee update will not install because the Spybot will not uninstall.

Help! If I can sort through all this, I will then download Spybot again.

But McAfee is still on your machine at the moment correct?
I would suggest you reinstall Spybot-Search&Destroy (1.4+) over your current version to replace the broken uninstaller. Uninstall Spybot and then reinstall it after McAfee has been updated.

This didn't work. The new version of Spybot created its own entry in the Add/Delete folder, even though it asked me if I wanted to install it over the old one. Deleting the new version did NOT delete the entry for the old version.

I gave up and told the computer to restore back to two days ago. Unfortunately, now neither McAfee nor Spybot returned to their original state.
