    WOW... Big shot!

    scan-time decreased:
    - 161215 def/ tracks
    - XP, SP3
    - msconfig: everything enabled

    1.52: about 21 min
    1.6: 5:50 min...

    Although the scan is faster, the programme is still sluggish, like when you open the programme itself, or when you immunize the database.

    @dj.turkmaster: Ah, I did expect something gone missing elsewhere somehow, sure, there it is easy to fix, already done, thanks

    @djpailo: well, the overall GUI replacement won't take place before 2.0. Search the forums for all the protests when we attempt to slim down anything in the "known" versions... for example the shredder discussions

    Yes, "realer" time than TeaTimer
    Blocking files before they're executed etc.
    Also using the classification database of RunAlyzer as an advanced decision system. More efforts to improve that database in planing as well

    Thumbs up I will test it on all my computers

    Hi Pepi. THANKS for your continuous improvements
    I just download the new version (beta) and I will test it on my old W98, the semi-old W2x and the XP-Sp2.
    I will tell you guys about my findings
    Ahh, I almost forgot, better late than never... I have notice a grate improvement on the memory utilization of Tea Timer (V1.5.2.0) !!
    Thanks guys!!!
    I assume that the correct or wise way to do it is:
    1 un-immunize all
    2 uninstall previous version
    3 install the new one
    The question is: How can I back-up or save the black/white lists of Tea Timer?

    Yup, I can certainly appreciate that. Well, its probably my five year old computer, but at least it hasn't ended up like the bloated ad-aware 2008.

    I think I may have found a problem with the English.chm help file.

    Can someone please try to reproduce this:

    Open Spybot-S&D, click on Help (in the menu bar), and select Help.

    Once the help interface opens, click on the Search tab, enter something in the keyword field (I was trying "explorer"), and click on the "List Topics" button.

    For me, on two separate XP SP3 systems, this results in a permanent Spybot hang (both the help interface and the program). Nothing ever appears in the topics list, the mouse pointer stays an hourglass, and Windows reports the program is not responding. I have to manually force it closed - after which I get one of those error report prompts.

    On the same systems, this didn't happen with version 1.5.2.20.

    Anyone else see this?

    perfect!

    the new beta reduces scanning time from 13 minutes to 4 minutes in vista x64 with core2quad q6600.

    will the new version of spybot will support multithread or multicore processor??
