Are you referring ot the real-time protection, or scheduled scanning?
For scheduled scanning, it scans at full speed - in a future version we
are going to allow the user to set the amount of CPU (Low, Medium,
High/Normal) that the background scanning uses.

is real time, on access?
Why would that be in the background?
It would only take a minute wouldn't it? [ a file or 2 at a time]

I tried Antivir, it starts scanning the entire computer in the background
the minute it is installed. It is highly rated on a hit rate basis, but used
lots of ram, and I had little control over it, so I uninstalled it. That's
what I think of when somebody talks about background scanning. No
scheduling, no access required.

I use FDM for a download manager, its the best free one I have tried, it has
three levels of download speed, allowing one to browse while downloading, I
know this is not an AV, but it shows what I would like in a client of this
type.

The ability to scan and use the pc simultaneously is very desireable.

KISS , is not an easy philosophy to follow.

Since I don't use the background scanning facility of
SUPERAntiSpyware, can I deactivate this module?
SASWINLO.DLL
....or is it required for when I start it up to do a manual scan?

The SASWINLO.DLL is also used to detect and remove hard to remove
malware, I would leave it active.
