It is Software Doctor that now appears to me to be on steriods. Note each time you boot up, it hogs memory and increases a corresponding svchost.exe file. Together upon startup, or while running a scan Spyware Doctor usurps system RAM, slows your other processes loading, essentially it takes over your machine. YOu can go to your Task Manager and disable it and the corresponding svchost.exe it uses for unknown purposes, wiping them both out. Of course you first need to wiegh the benifit/risk to surfing without SpyDoctor. I use the primative method of disabling it when I need speed.
