Spybot S & D Problem

L

Lou

Up until a few days ago, Spybot S & D ran fine.
Now, when I run this program, my computer goes into super slow motion.
After running 8 hours, the program still had not completed a scan.
I have deleted all Temp files and all cookies.
I have run Easy Clean, Ad-Aware SE, and two anti virus programs.
I deleted Spybot S & D, downloaded the program and reinstalled it again.
I am using WIN 98SE.
My computer runs fine in all other respects.
Anyone have any idea what can be causing this problem?

the Systray, select “Resident IE” and either uncheck “Use Resident

SpyBot lock host files greyed out
If it doesn't have a hosts file you cant lock it, so that tweak will
be grayed out.
Have SpyBot install its hosts file.
