View Full Version : Spybot 1.5+XP/SP2 performance issue?

I have two laptops. One's an old IBM A31 Thinkpad, 512M; the other's an HP, 1G. Both run XP/SP2.

The HP has Comodo, the IBM does not.

I've always and faithfully run Spybot, carefully up-to-date!:bigthumb:

About a month ago, I upgraded both laptops to Spybot 1.5. I noticed a painful loss of performance, on program load time, definition update speed, screen refresh after update exit, scan time, and exit after scan completion!

This slow-down happened on both laptops, so I am reasonably sure Comodo is not involved. Has Spybot become that much more complex?

Or is it, perhaps and more likely, something that I may have neglected?

Hello,

We already have located the startup problems in Spybot S&D version 1.5 and fixed it.
Here is the download file for the fix - the new Spybot beta: spybotsd15he-beta2 (http://www.spybotupdates.biz/files/beta/spybotsd15he-beta2.exe)

Best regards

From the trailer of your response, I take it I have misused the forum. For that, I offer my humble apology!:oops:
