yes i probably did have more than 100 dats loaded. i don't now though. if i make the priority HIGH, it won't stay there between a dat load and rebuild, i have to elevate it twice each time then it works ok but nothing appears to be running to slow it down. i upgraded my pc-cillin' av to the latest version last night and it cleaned a few minor adwares. nothing more. grumble vista grumble
