Re: Slow start

There were many reports of SpybotSD.exe (version 1.5.1.15) itself starting slowly and consuming a lot of CPU time. The problem has been found and fixed. See the following tracking task (which includes a link for a fix to the problem):
Find out about delayed user interface startup
http://forums.spybot.info/project.php?issueid=85
In addition there are another beta versions of Spybot 1.5 that solve the slow start as well as other known problems that have been encountered since the original release of Spybot 1.5. One of them is:
http://www.spybotupdates.biz/files/beta/spybotsd15he-beta2.exe
If the cause of your problem is actually a extremely slow start, perhaps that beta version (http://www.spybotupdates.biz/files/beta/spybotsd15he-beta2.exe) may work better for you.

Re: Cannot delete SDHELPER.DLL

SDHelper.dll is used by Spybot's Resident IE Browser Helper Object (BHO). Before uninstalling you should have stopped the BHO by going into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident and unchecking the following: Resident "SDHelper" (Internet Explorer bad download blocker) active.
Since SDHelper.dll is being used by Internet Explorer you have to stop all Internet Explorer sessions and sometimes reboot so that SDHelper.dll is no longer being used.

Many thanks for your help I appreciate it very much.

I have download the 1.5 beta and install it.

I do hope that it cruches the one that I can not delete :(
so next time, if need to be, I will not have the sane problem to uninstall Spybot.

Once again thank you for your help
