I installed Toad version 10.5 some time ago and noticed, that the response time from when clicking the Toad icon until the program started was very long - resulting in me clicking the icon again and actually starting the application twice!
After having installed the 10.5.1 patch now Toad takes forever to start and makes my computer unstable in the process - anyone else experiencing this problem and know how to fix it?
OS: Win7
PC: Dell Latitude E6400
Toad version 10.1.1.8 still installed (and working just fine!)
Are you using Mcafee antivirus? Then it is an idea to exclude the scanning of
the Toad directories. That makes a big difference.

Well, I encounter the same problem and am using McAfee-software, but as I’m at
the office, everything is ‘decided’ and configured for us, so we can’t exclude
anything. Well I’ve been cursing McAfee a lot this week. Mcshield.exe is
consuming almost the complete cpu when I try to start up Toad 10.5.1.

Mcafee is configured for us too, but still it was possible to exclude
somethings. But I guess that is depending on the amount of configuration and
restrictions that are imposed. So try all the menu’s you could access to see
if it is possible for you too.
Does anybody know why Toad is such a load for Mcafee? Other applications are big
too, but does not have such an impact. Maybe the developer team can change
something in the way Toad is build or structured to lower the impact? I
don’t guess that is easily done, but could that investigated?

I installed TOAD version 10.5.0.41 some time ago and to start the
program it takes almost 1.5 minutes before toad appears to login. At
first I thought it was my laptop but I went through it, scanned it and
everything else seems to be working normally. I see there is an upgrade
to 10.5.1 but am afraid to upgrade now.
OS: Windows XP Professional w/Service Pack 3
PC: Dell Latitude D610
RAM: 2GB
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this please let me know. Should I
upgrade ot the version 10.5.1?
Thank you.

It has serious problems with false positives. Lots of them.
In our case, it may be the exe compressor. Or not.
Personally I would exercise some serious corporate disobedience by removing that
virus from my machine. It has caused me nothing but headaches in years past.
Until they whitelist Toad it will likely continue to be an issue. We could
stop compressing to see if that’s it but then we’re looking at nearly a 50mb
exe.
I experienced the same slowness… With 10.5, it takes about 10 minutes to start TOAD. I dropped back to 10.1 and it takes about 20 seconds to start the app.
I also see a slow startup but I’ve never considered Toad to be a “quick up”
program.
It might be a litte slower now at 10.5.0.41 but I’m not sure.
I did upgrade to 10.5.1 and I saw the mcafee problem others have reported as
well.
I uninstalled and went back to 10.5.0.41 and other than the slow startup,
everything seems to be ok now.
I experienced the same slowness… With 10.5, it takes about 10 minutes to start

I also have McAfee installed.

I’m taking a wild shot here – but it’s an easy thing to try
and see if it helps. There are some options in Toad that connect to the web. For
example download tool tips at startup and check for update. Try turning these
off and see if that helps the startup time.
PS – I’ve had a similar startup problems on other software products
with Kasperky AV and BitDefender AV. I only mention this because I don’t
want to say it’s a Toad and McAfee only problem just yet – even
though that currently is the common denominator in this discussion.
Yeah I noticed McAfee has a firewall section. You could also add Toad to the
exclude list there.
I did not see any way at all in McAfee to add a program to a ‘white
list’. Even opened a tech support chat. They couldn’t find one
either. The closest they could come is adding it to the firewall exclude
list.
That is not a simple answer… It is lots of McAfee (for my company anyway):

Did you ever experience similar problems with 10.1? If so, do you remember
adding it to some kind of safe list?
There were no changes between 10.1 and 10.5 that we can think of at the moment
that would change the way McAfee handles our application other then the updated
version number.
Another thing you can try, just to eliminate some items from Toad’s
perspective, is to turn on debugging in Toad, using the DEBUG=1 flag in your
Toad.ini file. This will create a ToadDebug.txt file in your user folder that
will log the entire startup process, including timestamps. If there is
something that’s loading slowly in Toad, this may help track down the
issue.
In addition, make a note of the time you double-click on the Toad icon and
compare it to the time reported on the first line in your ToadDebug.txt file.
If there’s a significant difference between those two times, I would
suspect the problem to lie outside Toad itself.
Based on all the comments thus far, I would tend to agree with Bert, Mark, and
John D that this might be more a McAffee issue than a Toad one, but it never
hurts to rule out every Toad item we can think of.
