I have tons of computers which has got spybot installed. I am thinking about a group policy to remove them. I see uninst000 to uninstall the package from the local machine.
how do I run silently this without any user input. What are the available options?

Sumesh

I really screwed the pooch this time!

:oops:In the frenzy of trying to regain control of my computer, I might have made an unrecoverable error. I hope some kind soul (any left out there?) might tell me otherwise and help restore my computer. Question: If someone foolishly purges the scanned items in the SB list, are they at all recoverable? I did this...totally screwed up the registry...nothing works. Arrrggghhhh!!!:oops::confused:

Temp file inaccessable

Because of a glitch after installing win10, I needed to uninstall Spybot search and destroy. I did a comprehensive clean up of the registry and believed I had removed every part of the program.
However, my favourite game is the flight sim Dcs World and I found that my mouse would not work within the cockpit on the clickable consoles. Believing this fault to be the Cyborg mouse driver, I attempted to reinstall it. When I clicked install, is asked did I want to overwrite the cyborg joystick installation! I don't have this make of joystick, so the driver was obviously not the correct one. Overwriting it did not erase the problem, so I attempted to open the windows temp file but was refused permission. A left over file of Spybot has secured it and making it impossible to change permissions.
I now have a game with add-ons costing me over £200 that I can no longer play.
If there is anyone who can construct a usable solution, I would be in their debt.

Followed all advice but still have problems (Win 10)

I really didn't want to bring up another post Win 10 install thread but I'm going to anyway.

So yes,I installed Spybot 2.4,found it unintuitive to use,plus I could never get all the updates to download.Tried several installs but failed every time.Upon un-installing I'm greeted with the install option on every re-boot.So far I'm on my 6th or 7th re-boot.I deleted the file that was on the desktop,deleted the Spybot folder out of program files but I'm still getting it. I even re-installed,added the 3 un-install files you offer (they were already in the folder) and that didn't work.

How do you suggest I stop this because at the moment I'm considering a clean O/S install.

Seriously,this is more difficult to remove than any malware I've ever seen.

So i used to use Spybot and it used to be popular but haven't used now in a few years but i just downloaded the latest version on the website which is 2.4 and i am "BLOWN AWAY" at how far it has fallen there are id say at least 100mb in updates which takes forever to download and install and 60% of the download servers for the updates no longer work, during the update the logs says unable to retrieve update from server blah blah on 2-3 servers in a row then it seems to just skip some updates because it cant even find a server to get them from... then i come to the forums and its like a ghost town. I would just like to say if you at least fixed your update servers and released a NEW!!!!! version with the 100mb worth of updates already added to it!!! it might help...alot... it might not be 100mb but the update took 30 minutes on highspeed and came back with a full page of update errors cuz all the servers are dead. Whoever is in charge of maintaining those aspects of the software needs to shake their head a bit. I haven't even tried using it again yet and my experience is.... not so good to say the least customers must be dropping like flies.

Why is there no change after purchase

I was a little short on cash a few months back so I used the free version I always have and recommend to all users....I JUST bought the $25 "expansion" to get anti virus and the Professional features...yet the window states I still have the free edition and I can not access the Pro features.

Please dont tell me to download the license, because the dang thing has been done, twice. :banghead:

Was this just a waste of my money? Why is there no number to contact you guys? That usually shows a sign of a scam and makes me think I should have spent my money else where.:confused:

Receiving proxy message anytime new window is opened

To all,

Please help. I am using a 10 month old desktop that was bought brand new with windows 8. I rarely use this computer. I am connecting to the internet through my wireless router. My signal is fine and all other devices in my house are working just fine. Some pages allow me to open them but the vast majority come up with the following message:

[B]The proxy server isn’t responding

•Check your proxy settings 127.0.0.1:3128.
Go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections. If you are on a LAN, click “LAN settings”.
•Make sure your firewall settings aren’t blocking your web access.
•Ask your system administrator for help.

Fix connection problems

I have run the windows defender and that didn't work. I have tried to search for and download Spybot but all my attempts reveal the above message.

Thank you all for your help and ideas on resolving my issue.

Brad
