Hello,

I'm a complete newcomer to these forums, so I'm not sure what I need to do in terms of getting a registry to print out or anything. Please be gentle! I'm not a troll!

I upgraded to Spybot 1.6 last night and ever since the program has been running extremely slow. I saw threads where people were complaining about Spybot taking 3 hours to run, but I started a scan at 2:00 this afternoon and it wasn't even half finished by 12:00 AM. Before upgrading to 1.6 it usually took about a half hour for a scan to complete.

Considering the above, I think it's likely I've got something malicious hiding on my computer somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, this may be a silly question, but does this put me at risk as far as banking online? I usually do all of my banking online, and this problem with Spybot has me scared.

Thanks for your time,
Steve
