Hello to all.
I have been a user of Spybot S&D for many years now, this is my first posting, so please bare with me.
I am running an older system, Windows ME, fully updated and fully tweaked for Max Performance.
I am using Firefox 2.0.0.6 for my main browser but more often than not I still have to use IE 6 SP1 to review many websites that have not yet caught the Firefox "fever"...
Moving ahead, I updated this morning from 1.4 to 1.5.1.15 Final, downloaded from Major Geeks.
I understand from reviewing past forums that 1.5 is not the best for systems running Windows ME due to high CPU Usage, very, very slow launch / start-up, and that 1.5 does not play well with Spyware Blaster.
I have since uninstalled 1.5 and reinstalled 1.4.
My questions:
1.) Is there anything I can do to make 1.5 work better on my current system?
2.) I know I am losing out on some protections, or am I?
3.) Will there still be updates for 1.4?
4.) Is there a "last" 1.4 version I can download that would get me as close as I can get to 1.5 without having 1.5 installed?
Thanks for your time, keep up the great work, sorry about the length.

5.) Have you thought about making two versions of Spybot - one specifically for Win 95/98/ME and then one version for Win XP/2k/Vista? (similiar to Ad-Aware)
Thanks for your time, keep up the great work, sorry about the length.
