Spybot - Search & Destroy vil bli avinstallert fra Windows Legg til og fjern programvare i kontrollpanet uten problemer.

Hvis du vil fullstendig fjerne Spybot - Search & Destroy og Legg til og fjern programvare ikke hjelper, kan du slette installeringsmappen (vanligvis C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\).

Hvis du vil bare oppgradere til en nyere versjon, vennligst følg samme instruksjon som over og så installere nyere versjon.

Etter å følge disse instruktionene vennligst start maskinen på nytt slik at endringen vi ta effekt.

Also, neither the automated uninstall nor the manual uninstall like described above will remove the following directories, which you will have to remove by hand:

• Windows 95 or 98: C:\Windows\Aplication Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
• Windows ME: C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
• Windows NT, 2000 or XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\
• Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy\.

(Please note that the Application Data Folder is hidden. So if you can't find this folder please check your folder properties).

Explanation: this folder contains the backup (the quarantined files) that Spybot-S&D creates. If the Uninstall would remove this folder as well, this would mean that those backups would be gone. We saw it a few times that new users uninstalled Spybot-S&D in panic after they've experienced a small problem, thus removing the backup that would have undone any changes.
