Minor glitch with Spybot after uninstalling Opera web browser

[TooManyTacos]

My PC is running Windows XP Home SP2, DSL connection. I'm using Spybot 1.5.2, fully updated. Just recently, I uninstalled the Opera web browser. After doing so, I noticed that Opera was still listed on Spybot's immunization page, along with Firefox and Internet Explorer. I would like to remove Opera from this list, but have been unsuccessful.

After uninstalling Opera, I made sure to clean out any remnants of the browser in Windows Explorer and the registry. I used CCleaner's registry tool, and one from OneCare Live. But that didn't resolve this glitch.

So yesterday I undid all Spybot immunizations, uninstalled Spybot, rebooted my PC, did another cleaning of the registry and Windows Explorer to remove any remnants of Spybot, and installed the program again. Opera is still listed on the immunization page.

Any other suggestions to get rid of this entry? While browsing thru the Windows registry, I tried to find some mention of Opera in the Spybot directories, but didn't see anything.

I have the same problem only mine is with Firefox. I uninstalled it over a year ago and it still shows up in the immunization page

Is there any news on what is causing this glitch?

may be a bug in spybot not being able to detect that such a browser as opera has been removed. Therefor, it still shows up in the list...Odd....I have not tried that. I will test on a test machine and see if i can get this bug to resurface. I will get back and let u guys know.

I believe the bug isn't in Spybot. I've checked almost every hidden file and registry entry of Spybot and didn't come up with anything related to a certain browser.

I think when uninstalling Opera or Firefox, some garbage registry entries are left behind that are not detectable.
I even uninstalled Opera, ran every registry cleaner I could find (CCleaner, glarysoft registry repair, TuneUP utilities etc) and searching for pattern "opera" in the registry editor, would still match some patterns.

Seems to me Spybot checks on those patterns and thinks that the browser is still there.

I had that problem a long time ago.As I recall,I just went to
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes and moved the OperaPlugins.sbs file to another location on my computer(in case I needed it again or anything,for backup.)
