    Angry Spybot keeps ''spamming'' me

    Hey there,

    I installed spybot search and destroy 2.5.43 on a windows 10 desktop.
    i uninstalled it from within windows configscreen/remove software.
    I get the uninstaller window and click to uninstal. It prompts uninstall succesfull reboot your computer to take full effect, so i did.
    Now my problem is: Every time i reboot my pc or boot it from a shutdown state i get a pop-up which asks me to install spybot S&D since by upgrading to windows 10 it was deleted???

    I would appreciate it if someone knows a fix.

    Things i already tried are:

    Cleared every reg entry
    Used iobit uninstaller
    Cleared Temp
    Reinstalling search and destroy and deleting it again

    Delete the file "Post Windows 10 Spybot-install" from your desktop to fix this issue.

    If you cannot find the file on your desktop, it may have already been deleted. It is built to erase itself after 5 reboots.

    If you are still getting the popup, you should also delete the folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\AV\Spybot - Search and Destroy
