I uninstalled Spybot S&D a week or so back in the usual way through Control Panel. Straightforward.

Due to other problems I did a System Restore, moving back to a time before Spybot was uninstalled. Spybot of course reappeared but when I try to uninstall it now I get a message saying "S&D uninst000.dat does not exist. Cannot uninstall"

I've tried deleting it from Program Files but I am told that I need "permission" to do this (even though I am the administrator) and I am not able to remove it.

Any ideas?

Is it worth downloading the whole Spybot program again so that I get the uninst000.dat file?

Yep, I'd re-install it and let it overwrite the old files - then uninstall it again :thumb:
