I uninstalled Spyboot SD today and Spybot SD resident is still in the tray.
It has what looks like a padlock on it.
When I put arrow on it shows o pros blacklisted 0 known ratings avab
right click gets the display but nothing to delete.
My list of programs in unistall no longer shows S&D.
Yesterday I installed SpybootSD, ran it and my pc ok.
But when I installed I had choice of approving or not apporving Tea Timer which I okd and something else which I denined.
Decided to unistall S&D now

Try rightclicking Teatimer,Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.Then go to C:\Program Files and delete the Spybot - Search & Destroy folder.
Reboot,and let me know if teatimer is gone.

Also sometimes the Registry Files are there as well. Two things. Open Windows Defender, go to More Tools, Open Software Explorer, run for all users, then Delete the Spybot One if it is showing there for Teatimer. Next install and run CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/), esp the Registry Scanner and correct any entries found.

If either of these two things correct the issue, my advise is to reinstall SpybotSD, then download and install Revo (http://www.revouninstaller.com/), run that to remove SpybotSD off your system, then do the two things I mentioned above and that should do it.

Hello,

Next install and run CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/), esp the Registry Scanner and correct any entries found.


Registry Cleaners, not recommended (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=30113)
