This SBI command is outdated and will probably not be supported in Spybot-S&D 2.0. As of yet, it is unclear whether an automated conversion path exists. Automated conversion paths may also be less sufficient than a manual upgrade. We recommend that you take a look at RegyKey for a possible alternative command.

Searches for uninstall information by the given Displayname (also shown in Windows Uninstall dialog).

Usage

UninstallByName:<displayname(string)>,<partial(boolean)>[,advanced build parameters]

Examples

UninstallByName:"SillyMalware","0"

This would find the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{86421357-4567-BCDE-6789-1234ABCD5678}]
"DisplayName"="SillyMalware"

Description

Use RegyKey instead!
