An option to limit CPU usage
For the first time ever, after upgrading to version 1.6.2.46 today, I encountered the problem described in this thread: Crashing or Shut Down
When I run a scan, it gets most of the way through the scan, but then my computer suddenly restarts. According to the above thread, this is possibly because of CPU overheating. Unfortunately, I'm afraid to open up my computer to dust it out or install a fan, since bad things have happened in the past when I've dared to try to open up my computer and install things.
So, I'd like to suggest the idea of putting an option in Spybot to limit its CPU usage so as to make overheating impossible. I definitely don't mind if that makes Spybot slower to complete its scans. Safety is more important to me than speed.
Thanks for everything. Spybot has been very useful to me over the years and given me a lot of peace of mind.
Best wishes,
Apollia
