Spybot 1.5 takes forever to load + other bugs
1.8ghz AMD Sempron 64 (3100+), 1gb PC3200, 80gb HD, Windows XP Home Ed., machine runs like a dream with Spybot 1.4 installed, however with 1.5 whenever bookmarks are accessed from Start, Favorites (classic Start menu), computer freezes. Ctrl/Alt/Del, Task Manager to restart computer. Uninstalled 1.5, cleaned up leftovers, re-installed 1.4, computer runs fine.
1000mhz PIII, 512mb PC133, 30gb HD, Windows 2000 Professional, Spybot 1.5 takes a full 60 seconds before you see any activity at all, an additional 60 seconds for the program to fully appear, ANOTHER 60 seconds if you have auto update at program start enabled along with Immunize at program start. 3 minutes to load Spybot 1.5 with a configuration I would have preferred to keep.
I'll probably go back to 1.4 (on that machine) until the bugs get fixed, or until you stop supporting 1.4, at which time I'll probably have to find something else to use. I can't sell this computer with an application (ANY application) that takes 3 minutes to load.
I've always sworn by Spybot, have used it religiously since its inception. I would hate to stop using it (on ANY computer) in the war against spyware -kd5-
