    Default Dumb question, re-install problem

    Hope I'm posting in the right sub-forum... If not, I apologize.

    Long story short:

    Spybot stopped working, I uninstalled it, then discovered I had trojans blocking me from the server. AVG told me I had a Trojan injector in my rootkit, but wouldn't get rid of it... anyways, I eventually fixed all of by following the advice on this thread at Sysinternals.

    Everything is working fine again, I can connect to safer-networking and download Spybot... but when I try to re-install, I get as far as "Rolling back changes", and the following pops up:


    C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy \ advcheck.dll

    The existing file is marked as read-only.

    Click Retry to remove the read-only attribute and try again, Ignore to skip this file, or Abort to cancel installation.
    So... should I Retry, or Ignore?

    Hello,

    Seems like you have not uninstalled it completely.
    Please uninstall Spybot - Search & Destroy according to the following link:
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/uninstall.html
    Then make a fresh install of Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2.
    You will find links to several download locations on our website:

    Best regards
