Spyware Doctor

Does anyone know why it takes Spyware Doctor so very long to load at boot
up?

Probably because it has a very large data base. When I first
subscribed, the daily updates were about 1megabyte long, but
now they have gradually increased it to over 4 mb. miki.

I just finished working on a computer this past weekend that had Spyware
Doctor installed. That was my first experience with it but it does have
some settings the user can change for it's startup. You can disable the
startup scans/checks it does and that should help with the startup times.
