    General opinion on this forum is to turn teatimer off. My personal opinion is not to use spybot -just about worthless.
    Hope this helps.

    Don't have Spybot installed anymore, but when I did on my XP machine I found it really annoying and so disabled TT. I just rely - by and large - on my anti-virus defense now. and common sense.

    Disable Spybot's TeaTimer
    • Run Spybot and click Mode in the top menu
    • Select Advanced Mode.
    • Then expand the Tools selection in the left pane by clicking on it.
    • Now in the left pane Resident.
    • Now in the right window pane, uncheck TeaTimer

    I use Spybot but have turned the teatimer off. Found it takes ages to load at startup and is CPU intensive. Also popups with all sorts of annoying SH!!te.
