Delete old before loading new Spybot?

[willjm]

After using Spybot 1.3 for several years I visited the spybot web site today for the first time after a minor glitch and discovered version 1.6!! Should I delete existing version before downloading 1.6? I'm using XP Home SP2.

Hello,

Would be the best.
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.
You will find links to several download locations on our website:

You will also have to update your new version using the integrated updater.
