Hello,
It seems Spybot 1.6.2 is causing massive problems with IE 8 final on Windows XP SP3 machines. Vista SP1 appears to be unaffected.
If you do a complete spybot immunize it causes massive problems for not just IE 8, but all applications, so it seems.
Please See:

Notice an IE MVP has replied and stated that reports are coming in about this, so I'm not alone.
In my case though, on all 3 computers I have tried this on, every single problem was caused because of spybot immunize only. Spyware blaster continues to work just fine.
But mainly it causes IE 8 to use 100% CPU for about 5 minutes when starting it. Same with trying to load the windows control panel and many applications.
If you try and download a file in firefox for example it too freezes because it starts using 100% CPU.
So if you undo spybot immunize then no more problem.
By the way IE 8 RC 1 does not have this problem.
Thank You,
Will
