Long scan time and High CPU
Hello:
I just updated from Spybot 1.4 to Spybot 1.5
I've noticed three major changes which persisted even after I uninstalled both 1.4 and 1.5 via Control Panel, and then reinstalled only Spybot 1.5
1) Scan time increased from ~13 minutes, with Spybot 1.4 to nearly an hour for Spybot 1.5
2) CPU --with Spybot 1.5 --was ~97--99% throughout the scan
3) Loading time for the program was quite long~up to a minute.
No spyware, other than tracking cookies were found.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance:

Hello,
We already have located some problems like the startup problem in Spybot S&D version 1.5 and fixed it.
Here is the download file for the fix - the new Spybot beta.
Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" and select "Settings" --> "File Sets" in the left bar. There, please right-click somewhere into the list and choose "select all available checks".
Best regards

Thanks, Spybotsandara:
Do I install that beta on top of the build I already have installed [1.5.1.15]?

Hello,
Yes. You can install it right over.

I installed that beta:
Now on Spybot 1.5.1.18
It does load in much less time; took a few seconds only.
Scan took ~half the time as before~24 minutes
However, the high CPU continued --between 97-99% -throughout the scan.
So some improvements, but excessive use of CPU remains.
When would you suppose the next build might come out?
Thanks for your assistance:

Glad to hear. I have all three similar problems after going from 1.4 to 1.5 and my system is not that bad it is P4 2.4ghz with 1gb ram
:
- Takes long to load 2 minutes or so from only seconds earlier
- Scan takes much longer up to hour
- CPU load is very high, fan is running highest
I'm going to try the beta and see what happens
