I downloaded and installed Spybot 1.5.1.18 (Beta 2). It worked like a charm. It launches a lot faster than version 1.5.1.15 which took almost one whole minute to fire up. That was not normal, so maybe they decided to come up with this Beta 2 version.
Thanks Ryan for this tip of Beta 2.
Regards,
Omar.-
Glad the Beta Spybot worked out good for you, and thanks for the tip on Avant Browser. I didn’t see your comment in time, but I did manage to see the release.
