For those of you with slowdowns and Spy Sweeper 4.5 installed too, A post from DLSR:

Re: Spy Sweeper 4.5 really slows things down

I think I figured it out!

My IE's all have at least one BHO. This being the Google Toolbar BHO.

IF SS's wrsssdk service is running and I also have BHO's loading in IE then I see the slowdown.
If I open SS and turn off the BHO shield, I still see the slowdown.

But, if I use SpySweeper to edit the installed BHO's and deselect them all then IE once again runs fast with little slowdown while the SS wrsssdk service is running!
So it looks like the BHO shield option has no effect regardless of being checked or unchecked.

On this main system, I had four Browser add-ons.
1 - Google toolbar
2 - MSJava
3 - Acroread helper and,
4 - RoboForm

As long as any one of them is loaded, I see the slowdown.
I was hoping to narrow it down to just one of them causing the problem but it seems that any of them cause the problem.

I can use all of the BHO's just fine without performance problems as long as wrsssdk.exe service is not running.

Off to email Webroot with the findings!
