Spybot SD Resident though Spybot uninstalled

[StupidUser]

Hi. I have uninstalled Spybot Search and Destroy for troubleshooting purposes. There is a shortcut remaining, when I click on it, I am told the program no longer exists.

When I go into Windows Unistall a Program, Spybot is not listed anywhere.

However, Spybot-SD Resident is still in my system tray. Why wasn't it uninstalled, too? How do I get rid of it? Can I just delete SDWinSec.exe and TeaTimer.exe which were left behind?

Thank you.

You should be able to get rid of Spybot-SD Resident by first rightclicking it in your system tray,and selecting Exit Spybot S&D Resident,then deleting the Spybot - Search & Destroy folder,usually located at C:\Program Files.You can get rid of the remaining shortcut by rightclicking it,and selecting delete.hth. :)
