I run spybot as a portable app and the Post Win10 desktop icon, a folder, and a startup run entry were added after running spybot for the first time after installing Windows 10. I don't need this on my small-hard drive tablet as I run spybot as a portable app from an SD card.

1. How can I remove all of the above?
2. How can I prevent their install in the future?

Thanks

If you are using Windows 10, and have upgraded to Spybot 2.5 already, you can delete the file "Post Windows 10 Spybot-install".

Please also delete the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\AV\Spybot - Search and Destroy


These will not reappear unless Spybot is reinstalled. They will be deleted automatically after several reboots.
