    Default Unable to remove spybot/keeps poping up to reinstall after reboot

    I've downloaded those uninstall files and run them with admin rights
    i keep getting error: an error occurred removing the scheduled task check for update could not call proc.

    I reboot my computer and it pops up asking me to reinstall.
    I am running windows 10 pro.

    can't find anything to guide me to getting rid of this program

    To fix this issue, please delete the file "Post Windows 10 Spybot-install" from your Desktop.

    Please also delete the folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\AV\Spybot - Search and Destroy


    These were included in our updates for users upgrading to Windows 10.

    During the upgrade process, Spybot is likely to be uninstalled. It can be reinstalled by running this file, which will survive the upgrade process.

    If you do not plan to upgrade to Windows 10, these can be deleted. If you need to, you can get this file back by reinstalling Spybot.

    You can also uninstall Spybot completely before the upgrade and reinstall it after.
