Hi - I have 500 ram, 40gb disk, xpsp3 - I just loaded spys&d on it and it is super slow on startup, update download & scan. I tried some of your suggestions regarding "spybot doesn't run" and it seemed a little faster - I guess it's just not enough ram to run much faster and I must be patient. I scanned for malware and don't seem to have any. It took 70 minutes to scan 732,000 items. Just wondering. Thank you.

Your RAM could be the reason, yes. :sad:
Which CPU do you have?
Were all other programs closed when you ran Spybot?
