Teatimer.exe

[Jack McAfee]

Sometimes when I logged on and check Windows Task Manager I see that
"teatimer.exe" is one of the processes that is active. Can anyone tell me
what this process is about?

Hello Jack,

Do you use spybot? It's part of it. If you google for "teatimer.exe" you
get round 200.000 hits

One can only assume that you are running Spybot Search and Destroy as
'teatimer.exe' is part and parcel of that application.

It's part of Spybot Search & Destroy.

It's the resident program from Spybot Search and Destroy (it gets
installed when you run that program) that protects you from having
anyone other than yourself from making changes to your registry.

If you've never installed a program or made a change to your Windows
setup then you probably haven't seen a popup from Teatimer.

It is a resident spyware application built in with Spybot. I have
mine turned off because I have Spy Sweeper. Teatimer may slow your
system, but it better than nothing.
