Hi Ed.....

After reading thru the link Zee gave, I would suggest you uninstall the
new version and go back to the old one. I assume you have a copy of an
unopened version 1.4. If not, go to oldversion.com and get one.

If you prefer to wait until one of the gurus from over the Pond arises
and has a jolt or two of caffeine, OK. Otherwise, I would say go to
Control Panel and Add/Remove and take it out of there.

I always go thru my registry and also my hard drive (via Windows
Explorer) and remove any blatant leftovers of whatever it is I am
removing.......but I do it ever so carefully. In fact I don't mess with
most of it.

Hello,
I just upgraded from version 1.4 to 1.5
Problem(s):
1) It takes about 2 minutes to get the Spybot screen loaded before it
shows
on the computer screen.
2) I honestly don't know what settings I should have on/off.
3) Thinking of uninstalling version 1.5 & going back to version 1.4.

Any ideas as of why the new version is such a hog on computer
resources? Way
too slow to load.
Also, what's the best way to go back to the older version - without
affecting any files that might be left over throughout the
system/registry.
Thanks,
Ed
