soporific Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) For those who were excited by the new v1.5 of Spybot - Search & Destroy but only to be disappointed by less than sterling performance...get the new beta version from here:http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=18788- the very long start time is no more- other slowness problems seem to have disappeared.Thanks to SubMix8c who put me onto this.EDIT: for those who want to include this on their UBCD, here is the new silent installer:- it installs the new beta release of v1.5 (as above)- it installs the latest updates as of Oct 10.- NOTE: this is a SILENT installer. Once it starts, that's it, let it run.- also note: it sets Tea Timer active which is a system settings change notifier. If you don't want this active, you can turn it off in the settings.link: http://soporific.dsleague.com/downloads/SpyBotSnD_1.51.exe Edited October 14, 2007 by soporific Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungus Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 It causes near 100% usage of System process, due to the huge hosts file, if you use the immunize function.I noticed this problem in win2k, and went back to spybot 1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosts file very small (998 bajt) and disabled function Immunize. Try: Run Spybot and run Update...This problem with original Spybot 1.5 and with "soporific" version.Problem Nr. 2: Teatimer: extemporary random request > 100% system resources.

soporific Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Philco I've tried Spybot with various different RAM sizes and least amount of system resources i could get was 17% with 64 MB of RAM. The average i got overall was about 40% free. So on my test system (with hardly any programs installed), it works fine.How much RAM have you got installed, and what figure do you normally get for system free resources when Spybot isn't running?
