SpyWare Doctor and CPU Usage max out

Running SW Doctor often seems to max out my cpu at 100. If I close SW Doctor,
usage drops to 20-30%, normal range. I like SW Doctor, but this is annoying.
I do not have overly-numerous items running, just the basics.

Win XP
768MB RAM
T600 boosted with intel celeron PL/IPT3 1.4 GhZ processor (which has done
wonders, btw).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: SpyWare Doctor and CPU Usage max out

That's one of the downsides to SpyWare Doctor. I finally got fed up and
uninstalled it.
