Not a reply, but a very similar problem. SpyBot grinds to a halt when it reaches the CoolwwwSearch section of the scan. Virtually stops & then scans so slowly, you can see the individual numbers ticking over. A full scan yesterday took almost an hour. Does it make any difference if I scan on or off line?
