Slow startup after Sep.12 updates

[overthere]

Since downloading the September 12 updates It takes Spybot S&D 1.5 *much* longer to start up, about 34 seconds on a fast W2K machine, where it used to take maybe 2 seconds.

The program otherwise runs and scans with the same perfomance as previously.

Also, since installing version 1.5 I notice it ticking the A: drive on startup. I haven't found any setting that references that and wonder if that's something that can be disabled or is it a feature.

Thanks for any info.

Spybot 1.5 is taking an extreemly long time to load. There is a tracking ticket on the problem:

Other people have also experienced Spybot 1.5 accessing Drive A. There is also a tracking ticket on that problem:
