Hey there Stu...so sorry to hear that...damn those things really piss ya off

Much like ngb...I recently had a prob with spybot...damn thing ran freakin amok on my machine. Spiking cpu utilization to 100% and driving processor core temps up by over 20 degrees celcius. Stripped that sucker out...problem solved.

Had never really liked that software...always seemed a bit clunky. But it had sure never done that before!

Anyway, the point is...I found another spyware scanner that seems great. It found a few minor things on my system that other scanners had missed. And it doesn't seem to be a resource hog...even when it's actually scanning. Remaining resident...barely even know it's there.

Here's a link;

Yep, it's M$...apparently they bought out this company and are now M$ branding the scanner. Sure seems to work well though

Really hope you get it resolved soon
