My work insists on running it (out of my control) once a week, initially on Monday at 1 pm. Goodbye Monday. 14 hours and it was still going, and there I was wondering why my new machine was being even more of a dog than usual--until I looked at the task list and found it was taking 60-70% of my resources--and apparently invoking Spybot as it went. I managed to get them to change it to Sunday 9 am, and then I discovered that rebooting the machine did not reset the scheduler :) Michael@home (10396)

Well they need to reinstall it or reconfigure it. Nod32 is one of the least intensive memory resource hogging scanners available.
