That shouldn't happen with Spybot Search & Destroy. There may have been a failed upgrade happening at the same time that you were uninstalling it.
Can you find either of these programs and run them?


C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot – Search & Destroy 2\unins000(.exe)


or


C:\Program Files\Spybot – Search & Destroy 2\unins000(.exe)


If not, can you find this folder?


C:\ProgramData\Spybot – Search & Destroy ?

No, none of those exist now. The only one I found after the uninstall was in Program Files but nothing in Program Files 86.
This problem stems from a safeguard Spybot put in so that after a Window 10 upgrade that didn't re-install Spybot, you would just click on the pop up to have it done.
I've now found a Spybot site page with instructions on what file to delete and hopefully now my problem will be solved. I deleted a Spybot file located in an AV file under common files in program files.
I sure wish cortana would have located this file for me when I was searching for anything with Spybot.
The information to remove the last remains of Spybot, if anyone else runs into this problem, can be found at:
