I installed and used Spybot once to check for adware etc.

It found nothing, which is good.

I uninstalled it.

Now, when I start Windows, I keep getting the "Welcome to the Spyboy Re-Installation" wizard.

Pressing Cancel doesn't stop it appearing on startup each time.

Any ideas?

Running Windows 10 x64.

Hello King Mustard,

From the FAQ which would appear to apply even if you are already upgraded to Win 10.

What do I do with it?



If you do not plan to upgrade to Windows 10, this file can be deleted. You can get this file back if you need to by reinstalling Spybot.
You can also delete the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\AV\Spybot – Search and Destroy
