Spybot 1.5 runs VERY slowly

My scan went from minutes to hours. I have been running a scan on one machine for nearly 8 hours! I'm an IT guy by profession so I 'think' I know what I'm doing. The temp files are cleared, the machine is patched, it is XP SP2, yadda yadda. I now have version 1.5.2.20, the previous version did not to this. We have tried this on several machines, they all report it taking longer.

Love the tool, but come on.

Same here - I'm an IT professional who has just more or less lost a work day to an 8 hour Spybot scan. It used to take 40 minutes on this same computer, tops.

I lack the patience to tweak settings, uninstall, reinstall, etc a programme which has clearly outlived its usefulness, so I'm now looking for an alternative. Suggestions welcome.
