Hello All,

I am new to the paid version of Spybot, have always used the Free program. I have had the Pro version for 2 weeks and every-time I run Spybot it gets down to 6 mins left and then switches to 1361 mins left, and keeps running. This has happened every time I run Spybot. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks Ric.

Somebody else had something similar happen where it went to 324 minutes,though theirs froze at the end of the scan.

I just purchased the Home version and also see the "324 minutes remaining". First, I see about 28 minutes and when that counts down to zero the 324 estimate appears. However, I left it running (assuming 5 hours to go) and found that after about 20 minutes it completed everything. I think the 324 estimate is a miscalculation.
