Spybot scanning really fast

[swindle]

My up to date spybot sd is scanning in like 2 seconds and it used to take like 20-30 min. what gives? I dont think its doing the job

swindle:

Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > File Sets. Make sure that everything is checked except the last two items which are for usage tracking. To do that easily, right click on the file sets list and select "Spyware check only".

Then click "Spybot-S&D" in the left hand pane followed by clicking on the "Search & Destroy" button. Start a scan by checking on the "Check for problems" in the right hand pane.

During the running of a Spybot scan ("Check for problems") the status bar in the lower left hand corner of the screen shows the following:
"Running bot-check(xxxxx/yyyyy:zzzzzz)" where:
[list] xxxxx = Current check count.
yyyyy = Total check count.
zzzzz = Malware check being performed.
The total check count (yyyyy value) should be 349278 after the 2008-12-10. What is your scan showing?
