Hi All,
New here, so sorry if this has been asked before.
I have recently upgraded my wivies computer (which was running slow) to a faster M/B and CPU (2.3 Celeron). This computer is running slower then my old AMD 1.8, even with more memory and a faster video card (previous 8Mhz, now 64Mhz).
In the upgrade I also upgraded Spybot to 1.5.
Now I can not say for sure that Spybot is causing the problem, but when I run Spybot S&D, to scan, it slows the computer down, and uses 100% of the CPU, checked viewing the display in Task Manager. I am running 512Mhz of ram, which is double I had in the previous computer.
I also have a little icon in my notification area, which I believe is scanning, as I get messages up when-ever I install a new program, or change a setup?
I am just about to delete the program to see if it runs better (faster).
I am at a lost as to what might be the problem. :( I have even stopped trying to install other programs until I find the problem).
If anyone can steer me in the right drirection, I'd be grateful.
As I said it might not be Spybot, just concerned over the high CPU usage, and the scan icon in the notification.
Regards
Kevin.
