It seems to take 30+ seconds to get up after I click it's shortcut .

Download Updates window is strange now too . . after you click the "Disconnect" the screen freezes for a few moments and even the mouse locks .

This is on every one of my installations . . . big systems and small . . even did a brand new installation on a recently recovered HP Pavillion with 2 . 3ghz and a lot of RAM .

Still it's slow .

1 . 15 . 1 . 15 is the latest, i think the problem is fixed in the betas (1 . 15 . 1 . 17) which has not been relased yet . you can find it in the spybot forum if you want to try it .

Why would you upgrade

618028 2007-12-05 06:02:00 Ok, I am using 1.5.1.17, which may be beta but no problems with it anyway, I think it is called the Halloween version.

I do not run it with all the entries in the Hosts file, the setup is a little different from the older version so you will have to look at it carefully as they are loaded by default in the newer version.
