    Exclamation Help - Spybot running really slowly

    Now when I use Spybot (Search & Destroy) it is running really slowly. The orange status bar at the bottom used to run quite quickly, but now it is struggling to get through one a second.
    I have the latest version. Can someone please help?

    Hello James3k.

    Has Spybot-S&D found any nasties on your computer lately and what other security programs do you have installed.

    Also what is your Operating System.

    I see you previously posted in december here:

    It's taking so long to run a check, that recently I haven't ran a full check.

    I'm on Windows XP, and yes I haven't sorted the problem since December!

    Do you know what the problem is?
