Spybot-S&D 1.6 already improved the scan speed a lot,
still, people complain about the time a full system scan takes again.
This graph shows a "nice" explanation: the number of detection patterns
used to detect malware has doubled since the release of 1.6 in July this
year, to 343,003 detection patterns in this weeks update.
The
graphs first steep increase can be explained with the addition of
detections that needed the new capabilities of the 1.6 engine, and
should you wonder about the following valley, that was a point where the
new capabilities were used to reduce the amount of patterns needed,
without actually reducing the detection range.
Conclusion? We
have a massively improved detection range, and we're going to improve
the scanning time this costs in 2.0 to counter the negative side (speed)
of it.
