    Default uninstall

    My uninstall string is wrong(or however I should say it)-


    Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Spybot - Search & Destroy_is1
    Filename: "C:\Spybot - Search & Destroy\unins000.exe"
    Data:
    and I checked and it won't uninstall.
    I'm not sure how long its been like that.
    Thought I'd put this here as a tell someone kind of thing,in case people started showing up with uninstall problems(unless I'm the only one it happened too,that is.)
    Mine is located at the default location:C\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\unins000.exe

    Actually,all the values have C:\Spybot - Search & Destroy in there.I don't ever remember having it installed at C,though.
    And my unins000.dat is missing.

    You could try removing it manually,then redownload and reinstall.
    Have a look here for that:

    And here's some mirrors,for when you redownload:

    p.s.-If you decide to remove it manually,if you use teatimer,you might want to exit teatimer first(rightclick teatimer and select Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.)
    And then you might want to go to mode-advanced mode-tools-resident,and uncheck Resident SD helper(if you use it).

    I vaguely remember something being in use when I removed it because I forgot something,but I can't quite remember what(SD helper,I think),that's why I mentioned the above.
