Anyone had any problems with Spyware doctor causing their machine at 100% when you get it scan or surf the net. It's not my machine but the old man's I can't see why it's doing it and it appears to be the lastest version and have all the lastest updates, in addtion to this it causes the machine to throw up a buffer overun message when surfing the net. Any ideas anyone ?
Yep. Its very resource hungry, even makes my reasonably juicy 3Ghz P4 slow down significantly. The answer is to make sure it doesnt load at startup or run in the background. Just fire it up once a week get the updates then run a quick scan. Then shut it down again.
hi,have installed,only got 1.3g 256 mb ram,works ok for me,like bad site blocking,possibly slightly unresponsive at times,but touch wood,not been hijacked or any nastys for a while,safer to leave monitoring in back ground !!
Yup, I have the same issue, noticed that it is particularly slow to load up and re-start after an update. As also posted, just run it up once a week, update it and run a full scan then shut it down. It's one of the better tools out there so it's worth using it.
