    Question What is the average scan time?

    Ok...here's a question...

    I know Adware and SpyBot S&D both do a pretty darn good job. One catches the items the other misses. I can't say that one misses or catches more than the other, I just know it seems like not matter which one I run first the other picks up a few loose ends here and there.

    The one BIG difference is...Scan time.
    Adware = approx 3-4min
    SB S&D = approx 1 hour

    Here are my system parameters. Can anyone enlighten me?

    Processor: P4 - 2.40GHz
    Memory: 2GB

    Hard Drives
    1. C: Seagate 40GB 11GB free
    2. Partitioned - Seagate 40GB
    D: 26GB 6.2GB free
    G: 14GB 9.7GB free

    Last defrag: less than a week ago
    Last time CCleaner was run: Right before scans

    It sure would be nice if SB S&D was a little quicker.

    Thanks

    You have a decent spec. With 2 GB of RAM, it is more than enough to run them.

    What version is your Spybot (Help>About)?

    Are running AdAware scans at the same time?
    Is there any other activity during the Spybot scan?

    Does the scan freeze?
    Run Spybot>Mode>Advanced Mode>Okay>Settings>Directories.

    Is there anything in the Directories tab?
