Then I noticed after updating the database that Firefox is missing in the IMMUNIZE section.

I've been running Spybot S/D V1.5.2.20 on my WinXP Pro sys since Jan. 30th with no performance issues to report.
I am using that version as well. The only problem I had was the Immunize settings for Firefox, which I had to disable because it bloated the hostperm.1 file to huge proportions with blocked items that were unnecessary to add because I have defaulted to blocking unwanted items like that anyway.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20239487 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 02:01:50 EDT Re: Using Spybot 1.5.2?

New version on Vista much improved.

Going to fire up my Vista laptop and put it on there too. Thanks!

The only real issue I have found is if I use Spybot Immunizing feature (Firefox - Installations blocking).

It tends to slow down opening up the option in Firefox to allow or not allow specific sites to install software. Other then that Spybot is running fine and is much faster to load then previous versions.

I've been running Spybot S/D V1.5.2.20 on my WinXP Pro sys since Jan. 30th with no performance issues to report. Just timed the app opening & it was 6 sec.

I had the same start up problem you described on the previous 1.5 version and it would not start at all on the 98SE computer. That issue seems to have been dealt with in this release.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20235602 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:08:23 EDT Re: Using Spybot 1.5.2?

Here's a thread on the S & D forums from a couple months ago about the issue: »forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=21510

See ya across the Rainbow Bridge, my good and faithful friend!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20234920 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:30:44 EDT Re: Using Spybot 1.5.2? Do you like it? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20234517 Telly Boot : For me it now opens in about 8 seconds, which is twice as quick as 1.4, and the interface is a bit easier to use. With older versions you also had to close and re-open the program to fully install new definitions; I'd be interested to know if that has been taken care of. Overall I would say it's improved.

Do you like it? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20234257 Dan Given : I have been really satisfied with Spybot 1.4, especially since I went to 1.5 and found it took well over a minute to open and was really worse in performance. I went back to 1.4 and am still there, but seeing the 1.5.2 newest version in the update section.
My question (for my XP Pro machine) is to see if anyone can tell me if the newest version has fixed that set of issues?
Thanks in advance!
Dan
