View Full Version : Dumb question, re-install problem

Hope I'm posting in the right sub-forum... If not, I apologize.

Long story short:

Spybot stopped working, I uninstalled it, then discovered I had trojans blocking me from the server. AVG told me I had a Trojan injector in my rootkit, but wouldn't get rid of it... anyways, I eventually fixed all of by following the advice on this thread (http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19306&PN=1) at Sysinternals.

Everything is working fine again, I can connect to safer-networking and download Spybot... but when I try to re-install, I get as far as "Rolling back changes", and the following pops up:




C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy \ advcheck.dll

The existing file is marked as read-only.

Click Retry to remove the read-only attribute and try again, Ignore to skip this file, or Abort to cancel installation.


So... should I Retry, or Ignore?

Hello,

Seems like you have not uninstalled it completely.
Please uninstall Spybot - Search & Destroy according to the following link:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/uninstall.html
Then make a fresh install of Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2.
You will find links to several download locations on our website:
