Yea, same here. I'm a paid subscriber and upgraded to the newer Spy Sweeper 5.0 with all sorts of process problems. Immediately after install all sorts of programs memory usage went crazy. A closed all other AV programs and rebooted and still my computer dragged and tried to lock up. Task Manager would not close Spy Sweeper, so I took it off my Autostart. I'm not running it now and came here from a Google search trying to complain, find a solution or get my old version back. I'm not a newbie, and this 5.0 version stomps on my registry. No such problems with months of running the previous version. Brett Kitchens said never implant the VeriChip.

I Googled the problem and found a solution that works for me, uncheck the Keystroke Logger in the shields options.

I turned off the Keylogger shield and it seemed to help. Matter of fact, I had cut several shields off in the older version because either they were too sensitive (bothersome), or were covered by another program. 3 or 4 Internet shields I think i.e.Favorites etc. Thanks for the suggestion. @Dasha, I do not run RegCure so I can't help you. Also, some of my fondest memories are of Newbies. I welcome them.

I can now confirm that turning off the Keylogger shield in Spy Sweeper 5.0 has resolved the process problems I was having. A few days of running the program with it turned off, and no problems with my CPU memory usage I had when first installing it. Brett Kitchens was well pleased.

If your machine runs faster when you turn off the keylogger shield then it would be reasonable to assume that the more shields that you turn off the faster your machine will run. So why not just turn off all the shields and your machine will go like crazy -- you won't have any protectiion (which is why you have SpySweeper installed in the first place), but your macine will be really fast. My point is that the problem isn't with SpySweeper, it's with your machine. I have SpySweeper 5.0 with all the shields turned on (including the keylogger shield) and my machine runs fine. So the keylogger shield isn't slowing down my machine.
