Counter Spy v2

I recently bought this and so far am happy with it.

its got high detection rate, is light weight, and a nice GUI.

however when i update it takes about 1 minute and in that time the PC begins to get a tad slugish.

so im calling out to any Counterspy users to ask if their update is similar?

ps.

it DOES update, just takes long

Re: Counter Spy v2

Counterspy's update is a hog, it does take a while. Counterspy can also slow down older PCs considerably.

Re: Counter Spy v2

I wish it only took a minute, I got tired of waiting and today as it upgrade the definitions I timed it......

Seven minutes

I think I will just go make a sandwich next time I turn on the computer
