TeaTimer CPU load after startup thoughts

[wyrmrider]

Is anyone surprised that T-timer is actually doing its job?

There may be other ways to slice the baloney but for now
you want resident protection- you get protection

you want to clean up afterward then turn it off
ps
other Antispyware programs with resident protection take even longer

you could also run Win Patrol (or similar) which would monitor and tell you something has already infected your system and maybe able to reverse the action
does not have the "lag"

(I run Win Patrol ALSO, IN ADDITION TO A real time Anti Spyware protector)

you could also run System Safety Monitor, a virtual machine, Process Guard or similar

All trade offs and all approaches open to discussion

Hello Wyrmrider,

What is a "virtual machine"? I'm always interested in ways to outsmart those adware, malware, and virus guys. This virtual machine idea has really piqued my interest. Please elaborate.

Thank you!

A virtual machine is basically a small PC which you have inside your PC. An example of a virtual machine is VMware. That's a paid one, which you pay, and install on your machine. Even though it looks safe to run malware on it, etc, some malwares are designed and developed very well to break through and reach your real PC and harm it. So, it's not 100% safe, and you should know what you're doing if you're testing malware and anti-malware applications. I do these testing myself, and no malware has managed to harm my real PC yet, and I've been doing this for several years. But I know there are some malware which is built for doing these kinds of things, so be aware.
