Ok agreed that it(cpu spike) is not a bug and a intended function as the people who are in close contact with spybot say.
My query is when the real time alert is present it will always prevent a wrong file from acting.What is the use in scanning files at the start when a detailed scan option is already available.
I used ESET trial and presently Avira.They go about their jobs without the need for a high CPU usage.
Whatever be the reason people do get paranoid on seeing a consistently higher usage of CPU ,because such a symptom preceeds a crash.Would not know whether it is an improvement.
The best tradeoff should be a scan if need be with the minimum of resource used.
