Jeff Davis Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I used to have Spybot Search & Destroy. But I don't anymore. But it is still listed in cCleaner in Utilities under Applications. How can I remove it completely so cCleaner doesn't find it either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted December 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2009 run regedit and remove HKCU\Software\Safer Networking Limited\SpybotSnD ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Only delete the specific key Nergal mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, there is no threat, its just an entry for an uninstalled program showing up in CCleaner . Certainly don't wanna be removing restore points when messing with reg entries.

Jeff Davis Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Cool. I am in good shape - it is gone! I found it in regedit > Current User > Software > Safer Networking Limited. I hilited it then clicked Edit > Delete. I restarted the pc and looked in cCleaner in Utilities under Applications and Spybot is gone!
