    tsnithe wanted to remove teatimer 5 years ago. I don’t think this user is still active. I borrowed this thread instead of creating a new one, so only my questions are new. As I don’t think you’ll get any answer from the person you have quoted, I’ll let myself to respond on behalf of the absent. I suppose that tsnithe used spybot only for occasional system scanning whereas teatimer blocks unwanted registry changes in real time. You can install several programs for scanning on your computer, but only one should protect your system constantly running in the background. Too many players in this team would paralyze your system. You can combine spybot with other antimalware programs safely, but if you use older versions containing teatimer module, it’s better to either turn this component off or resign from using other anti-virus programs. I hope this was helpful. Best regards to Inventing Joy & the Furry Folk

    That .reg file is really old,and some things in it might be different now.Merging it into the registry probably wouldn't hurt anything,but still......I'm thinking no.
    This page shows how to back up a registry key:

    If you wanted to get rid of the teatimer registry key,you could probably just back it up first,and then delete it.

    Thank you, Zenobia, for your suggestion. It was very useful. To be honest, I knew how to make a backup, but I didn’t know and never wondered how one restores a damaged registry, haha.
    Actually, I've found more registry keys left by spybot. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner - this thing did it for me. It also deleted that surplus. Now my registry is tidied up, and it seems that everything still works. Obviously, the entry I asked about in my earlier posts is one of the erased

    You're welcome.
    CCleaner is a great program overall,so it's good you got it.
    But as for the registry cleaning part of it,or any registry cleaning program,really,there's a couple things to consider.

    And I'll add in this article,'cause I like it's mojo,too.

    Any algorithm cleaning my registry is just an algorithm, and as such it’s not trustworthy. No doubt about it
