I just recently updated to version 1.6.2. I have experienced a major slowdown in IE7 and a very long time in running this version to detect problems. May be 2-3 time slower on the detection. On IE7 it has slowed down 3-5 times slower that it was. Has anyone else experienced this problem
 
Hello Georgia,

Have you immunized with Spybot?
Do you have the resident protection activated?

Hi Sandra, I immunize each time after I run spybot. My entire system is being effective, on certain websites like foxnews.com and abcnews.com pages are held and I can't do anything, not even move the page up or down. Something is holding the pages and spybot version 1.6.2 is only change I have made. Not sure what you mean by resident protection activated??
 
Hello,

So if you undo the immunization is it still slow?

The resident part of Spybot can be found here:
Run Spybot-S&D, switch to the "Advanced mode" via the menu bar item "Mode" --> hit "YES" --> select "Tools" in the navigation bar on the left --> "Resident" and there you can tick the checkboxes in front of the two tools.

Best regards

Before I received your last response I deleted the entire spybot software and went to foxnews.com and had no problems with that website, no page holding or lockups.
 
runs faster

I did un-immunize and it runs faster. Would like to know why spybot runs so slow when looking for spyware. It use to run fairly fast.
