Spybot S&D ??

My Spybot S&D has changed its behavior, and I'm
starting to ask, what do I have here now? Up
to a few weeks ago, it started quick and ran to
good effect. It seems still to be finding the
usual spywares but it's notably changed in ways
I can't see coming from program revision and
evolution:

First change: It's very slow to start. My
machine works away for about a full minute
before anything happens on the screen. In this
time, says my Task Manager showing Processes, my
CPU is busy at near 100%. What's getting done in
this time? ??

Second change: Updating is slow and indirect. I
get a screen asking which of a variety of sources
to get the latest update from; getting the update
is very slow, and I have to close the update
software to get back to (what seems to be) the
Spybot.

Which leads me to ask, what's going on here? Is
my Spybot S&D still actually Spybot S&D? ??
And if so, what's it up to now?

WTF? The "usual"? Your system is seriously compromised, you should flatten
and rebuild!

Your system is compromised, you shouldn't expect ANYTHING to work normally.
