Something else that slows down system bootup Monday, October 18, 2004 at 12:26 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by speedwell (2 messages posted) Spybot S&D is a WONDERFUL program, but if you are running the HOSTS file that it uses to check certain ads and spyware against an internal list of baddies, for some reason it can make your start-up take forever. It doesn't do this to everyone. On other computers it can make dialup internet access take minutes to connect. (This is from personal experience with computers at home and at work... I'm not an expert.)
