Clean It Up! - Part 6 - Spybot - Search & Destroy
- First, if you have a previous version of Spybot installed, we need to do some things:
- Open Spybot - Search & Destroy
- Undo all Immunization
- Close Spybot - Search & Destroy
- Remove it via Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel
- Restart the computer as it says, but go back into Safe Mode
- Delete the following folders: (it is OK if some do not exist)
- C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
- C:\Program Files\TeaTimer
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TeaTimer
- Download Spybot - Search & Destroy
- Can be installed/run under Safe Mode
- Do not select TeaTimer during installation
- Do not select "Download updates" during installation (since you lack Internet access in Safe Mode)
- Close Spybot - Search & Destroy
- Update the detection rules
- Do a scan
- Repeat scanning with Spybot until it produces a clean result
- Once Spybot comes up clean, you should be clean enough to boot back into Safe Mode with Networking
- Once back in Safe Mode with Networking, make sure Spybot is up to date now that you (should have) access to the Internet
- Let Spybot update
- Restart Spybot fully and check for updates
- When no updates are found, do a scan
- Repeat scanning with Spybot until it produces a clean result
- Immunize in Spybot
