    There were many reports of Spybot 1.5.1.15 starting slowly. The problem has been found and fixed. See the following tracking task (which includes a link for a fix to the problem):

    In addition there is another beta version of Spybot 1.5 that solves the slow start as well as other known problems that have been encountered since the original release of Spybot 1.5:

    Default slow startup

    It is strange that I found this in one of Sanda's posts and thought I brought it here to help others. I guess it's floating around somewhere.
    Anyway here is what I located that worked.

    Default Patch

    I am glad it worked also b/c I used Spybot for years and thought I'd lost it.
    This forum is great. The new version needs studying and I'm sure I'll be back to ask questions.
    Thank you.
