It shouldn't have taken me so much effort to find the setting to change the scan priority. Searching "priority" in the Help file doesn't show any result.

Checking the forums, I found that the setting is deep in the configuration:

"Spybot is quite CPU intensive and always has been. If you are having difficulty running other things during a scan, you could try to lower the priority at which Spybot scans. If you go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > in the option tree under Main Settings there is a Scan priority section. Choose "lower" or "lowest". Please note that scan time will most likely increase if you are using the system actively but you should be able to get other things done."

I suggest displaying the option to change the scan priority on the main screen and is not tucked away inside the Advanced configuration. Also it will be good to have a context menu too when right-clicking on the S&D icon in the icon tray.

If the author doesn't wish to incorporate these suggestions, please at least make the correction to Help file. Thanks.
