Problems with Spybot 1.3 TeaTimer

[Fruss Tray Ted]

Has any of you experienced any problems with TeaTimer?

When I leave my pc on the desktop for some time and return, there's a popup from Teatimer and depending on how soon I catch it, it either is completely white with a close button or it has an error message mentioning Teatimer. Sorry, screenshots don't work.

If I catch it early, I can close it and maneuver on the desktop slightly but internet access is denied and so is access to My Computer. I think it was possible to close and save taskbar apps. If I don't catch it in time, and get just the white screen, the only options are to close the window and reboot via Ctrl, Alt, Del, losing all open work in taskbar.

If I could find it again, I'd turn it off until the bug gets fixed unless it was just my install, I'd try a reinstall or leave it off...

Losing open apps is quite annoying :mad:

Anyone notice same?

FTT,
I won't use TeaTimer until I know what it is supposed to do.
I am one of the 30% that are having issues with 1.3 Spybot but at least mine is no longer crashing after I removed the bad install and tried again.
Now it just won't remove Office useage tracks.

The 30% figure is based on NetIntegration S&D support forums posts and experience with friends and others who have tried the new version.
Just a wee bit buggy right now.
:rolleyes:

It is supposed to be a protective device for your system settings. Open SB and click tools >> Resident >> and notice the two check boxes, one of which refers to (defines) Tea Time.

If anyone is getting popups, click on 'immunize' and when it opens notice two check boxes, check 'enable permanent blocking' in the first and below it it should read: 'Block all bad pages silently.'


:cool:

Thanks.
I disabled TeaTime and the problem is gone.

Spybot is already set to block all bad popups. The popup I was mentioning was an error report from TeaTimer about running out of memory. Yeah right! I'm not senile yet~ :eek: I keep virtual memory on a partition so after awhile TeaTimer stops allowing access to other partitions hence the error message.

TeaTimer appears to be it's own worst enemy...

Right, apparently it is supposed to be a sheep dog, but having bugs in it, it appears to be upsetting the herd. I wonder if they just installed it backwards, :( because that's what it appears to be doing...instead of saving system settings, it appears it is interacting with them. And besides, why call it 'Tea Time?' What's that all about?
