why VERY slow scan?

[slg321]

Hello all... I just updated SDD (1.5.2.20) and ran a scan for the first time in a couple of months. The scan was VERY slow - I stopped it after about 90 minutes and it still was only about 75% complete. All other scans I've run with SDD have been very quick, just a few minutes. Any ideas why this is happening, or suggestions? Thanks...

Hello,

you say that you are using Spybot 1.5.2.20. This version is old. Please uninstall your old version, then download & install the newest version:
Spybot 1.6.2.46 : http://www.safer-networking.org/en/ownmirrors1/index.html

Spybot 1.6.x scans your pc much faster. :)


Best regards,
