Spybot 2.1 Pro slows Windows 8 boot, causes Explorer crashes and dont load itself
Ok, this is a litte Bug or Problem-Report for the new Spybot 2.1 into Professional-Mode, which appears on Windows 8 productive system.
Since, i did'nt install the Beta of Spybot 2.1 on productive system, i only dicover this problems now, when having it installed on a productive system and i discover it only on Windows 8 and only if Spybot 2.1 runs as Professional-Version.
This are the problems:
1. If Spybot is active, the boot-procedure of Windows 8 takes very long time, especially the init after the login-window of windows. During this longer init, Spybot causes a 90% disk-usage and a hight cpu-usage.
2. If you now dont wait for Spybot to fully load, before you start other Programs or open the Windows-Explorer, the Windows-Explorer freezes, it cant display the content of any device and metro-apps cannot acces the internet.
3. In some cases, the problem of point 2 leads into, that Taskmanager shows, Spybot as active with hight resource-usage all the time, but there is no Spybot-Tray-Icon shown and if you click the link for the Start-Center on Desktop, nothing happens, the Program dont even open, not as Admin and not as normal User.
Only a reboot of the System can solve the problem of point 3, but only if you now wait till Spybot stopped taking hight drive and cpu-usage.
Experiencing the same issue - causing sever boot time issues!
I have been experiencing the exact same issues on a Win 8 Pro with Spybot+AV Home Edition 2.1
I'm not savvy in the technical aspects of this bug, but thought I should report my issue with the details of my configuration now that a thread explaining it has been opened.
Please let me know if their is anything else I can provide to assist in this matter as it has been a real annoyance.
I sometimes have to wait up to 3-5 minutes before I can use my system, before I upgraded to the home edition with AV my system booted in under 30 seconds. :/
