FAQ's
How to uninstall?
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=faq&detail=27
"Version 1.3 will uninstall from the Windows Add/Remove Software control
panel without problems.
If you just want a fresh install, I recommend that you just install over the
current version.
If you want to complete get rid of Spybot-S&D 1.3 and the Add/Remove doesn't
help, you can delete the installation folder
(usually C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3\),
then download this very small 'fix' [ hyperlink in web page]
and execute it (it will remove all remains from the registry).
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\Application 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\
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."
