New updates about Spybot's development and its "outlook" mean exactly nothing when it's taken you this long to come up with a new version that's not clunky, doesn't take forever to load, doesn't interfere with IE7/IE8, is such an antiquated application that very few people even use it anymore. Spybot has pretty much dropped off the antispyware/antimalware map altogether. I just installed it on a Windows 2000 Professional computer I'm working on (866mhz PIII, 512mb RAM, 40gb 7200rpm WD hard drive, fresh install of 2kPro) because very few good apps providing real-time protection even support 2kPro anymore, Spybot takes a minute & a half to load. That's unacceptable...
Until 2.0 comes out with vast improvements over the current version, I won't use Spybot nor can I in good conscience recommend it to anyone.
You've been working on this for over a year, what's the deal? -kd5-
