Excessive Program Load Time

[PoGo123]

I recently installed Version: 1.5 and immediately noticed a significant increase in load time ... so long, in fact (2 minutes), that the first two times I opened Spybot, I thought the program had failed and was not loading.

Why is there so much load time difference between Ver: 1.4 and 1.5?

Personally, I went back to 1.4.

Hello,

We already have located the startup problems in Spybot S&D version 1.5 and fixed it.
Here is the download file for the fix: the new Spybot beta

Best regards

New Spybot Beta

I have downloaded this fix, but it appears to be the whole program (not a fix). Is it necessary to uninstall Spybot before installing this "Fix" ?

Thanks
Ron

Hi Arpy7,

The fix spybotsandra was talking about is the beta version of spybot (a whole program). You can install the beta over your current installation of your 'slow' spybot.

Thanks Honda,

Glad to hear that. Didn't want to go through all those updates again.
