During S&D, SpyBot crawls whne hitting 62,2## /108793 (microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts)

It took 4 hours to get from 62,2## to 108793 on third run (all 3 checks.)

I lookde in the Settings > Ignore list and found microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts there twice. I checked both and re-ran S&D cjheck again, this time SpyBot went much faster, and when it came time to test for microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts, SpyBot flashed microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts on the testing bar and went t the next item to be tested, then flashed microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts again and moved along to next item.

This was scanning a XP with all patches and updates SP#2 on a dual core 2,4 Ghz, 2Gig Ram in both regular and Safe Mode.

Stuff, Trojans, Spyware and general cookies was found on first run, leaving one to be removed on reboot which hung again. Disabeling microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts from the test didn't slow SpyBot down.

Is this a bug scanning microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts? 4 Hours is too log to look for microsoft.windows.redirectedhosts - yes?
