Sorry I am brand new to this and may be going about this all wrong.
When I start up Spybot it takes up 100% of the CPU usage and takes almost 15 min. to open?
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Hello,
Which version of Spybot do you run?
Best regards

Sandra,
I am using 1.4, because the newer version hangs and will never open up, so I went back to 1.4 and it still takes 10-15 min. to completely open up.
Thank you

Hi SonnyDay,
:snwelcome:
You shouldn't use Spybot 1.4 any longer. It isn't any longer supported with updates. Moreover, you can get false positives.
You said that the newest Spybot hangs and will never open... which operating system do you have? How much RAM do you use?
Do you have problems with your computer (-> Malware)?
Matt,
Sorry for the delay in responding have been out of town.
I am operating Windows XP Pro / 1.3GB Ram
No malware according to Malwarebytes / Lavasoft SE / Spybot 1.4 /
Microsoft Malicious Tool / Microsoft Live Care
Have installed and un-installed several times and every time once installed it hangs and will never open up.
Thank you
Sonny
Have you tried using the latest version (1.6.2.46)?
