I recently upgraded to Spybot v1.6 and have noticed a new delay in Windows Explorer responses. I have tracked this delay to the Resident IE component of Spybot - which caused no problem in v1.5.2. I am seeing a 3 second delay when opening Windows Explorer or My Computer and this repeats on every change of folder - so flipping between folders becomes very annoying as each change has this 3 second pause.
I am still using Internet Explorer v6 and wondered if this might explain the problem I am seeing. I believe the upgrade to Internet Explorer v7 severed many of the links between the two Explorer programs. I am using XP-Pro SP3 on 3Ghz P4 with 1Gb Ram - so it usually responds pretty fast. I have eliminated all the other resident addons as a cause of this problem, and I can turn the delay on and off using the Resident IE switch option provided in the TeaTimer menu.
I would prefer to stay with IE6 as it seems to respond much faster than IE7 - plus I like the GUI better - but if the only solution is to upgrade to IE7 then maybe I might have to change.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
