I have 6 computers running xp sp2 & xp pro sp2 which I put the new spybot s&D 1.5 on 4 of them- the others are still running 1.4. I uninstalled 1.4 removed all the folders pertaining to 1.4 then did the regfix you described in another post.

I found that on all 6 computers when scanning the cpu usage is 100%. I never saw that with the 1.4 version.

I installed the new version on my Vista Home Premium computer and there i do not see the 100% spike.

Can you explain why the scan is so high?

Also in immune- do you really need the Host file checked?
this was not in the prior version and I would like to know why it is now in this version and what it actually does.
