    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?
    I can confirm this on XP SP3. Two event logs:

    @PepiMK:

    ich kann das genannte Problem von Zer0_Voltage und Rosenfeld bestätigen. Spybot hängt sich bei mir komplett auf.

    Kann es sein, dass sich zudem zwei kleine Fehler im Sprachpaket eingeschlichen haben? Zwei Buttons werden im Sprachpaket "Deutsch" in englischer Sprache angezeigt. Ist das ein Bug oder so gewollt? Dazu gibts die Zip-Datei.

    Meine Geschwindigkeitsverbesserungen gibts hier:

    Huge improvement.
    1.5.2 with HOSTS 33:01
    1.5.2 without HOSTS 10:12

    1.6 with HOSTS 20:23
    1.6 without HOSTS 5:34


    My HOSTS file has 145000 entries if you're curious about the huge differences.

    Two small things, 1.6 always starts on the settings page. Can I stop this?
    And can I get rid of the hint of the day?

    Do we dash our bleeding hearts on the rocks of loneliness?

    Hostfile scanning takes most of the time here too. Maybe that should be improved

    Not seeing much in the way of hard figures in this thread for the actual difference in scanning speed, so I'll give you mine:

    Keep in mind here that the time I'm giving you is the time from which I click on the "Check for Problems" button until the final results of the scan shows up. (This is on my wifes' computer, a Win XP Home, SP3 64-bit w/ an Athlon 64 Processor 3800+, 446MB of RAM):

    v.1.5.2.20 (full scan, including usage tracks): 19 minutes

    v.1.6.0.25 (full scan, including usage tracks): 3 minutes

    An absolutely GREAT job, my friend! (I can do the same thing for my own computer, too, if you like). Pete

    Spy1,
    FYI, if you look at the bottom of Spybot (below the progress bar), when the scan is completed it shows the time taken in (). That is the time you might report.

    Rosenfeld - Thank you, but I already un-installed the old versions from both computers. The stop watch method'll have to do.

    Here's the results on my computer:

    v.1.5.1.19 - 19 minutes

    v.1.6.0.25 - 5 minutes

    That's on a Compaq Presario, Win XP Pro SP3, 32-bit AMD Athlon Processor 1.3GHz, 1 GB RAM

    Platform = XP Pro SP2 (under VMware Workstation 6.0.4 build 93057) with nothing else running

    Hardware = 1.6 GHz Mobile AMD Sempron 2800+ with 384 Meg RAM and a 5,200 rpm IDE hard drive

    Total Data = 3,488,441,394 bytes (within 6,187 dirs and 19,293 files)

    Full Scan Times (both tested with the 2008-06-04 detection updates):

    v1.5.2.20 = 20 minutes 17 seconds

    v1.6.0.25 = 4 minutes 2 seconds

    That would make the new beta 5 times faster! Or 503% faster if you prefer.
