Spybot 1.5.1.15 very slow.

[scienceismylife]

Has something changed in last couple of updates. I have windows 2k OS and AVG Free Edition Antivirus, plus Athlon XP 2000 and 2GB of RAM. It seems like running spybot and teatimer that start up of spybot program was faster and it hangs other programs now sometime not responding unless I put priority to High. The startup of program with tea timer already running seem to take almost one minute. Has something changed to be more CPU intensive? Maybe I am just too impatient. Steve
