S&D Resident

There is one basic premise you should keep in mind. If you say No to something you should have said Yes to, the results may be fairly dramatic and it may cause some of your software to cease funtioning.

If you say Yes to something you should have said No to, the results will be no different (no worse) to what would have happened if Teatimer had not been present.

You will considereably reduce your problems if you manually turn off Teatimer
(Advanced mode/Tools/Resident/Untick the Teatimer box) before you do any significant installation of new software. Don't turn it back on until the software has completed its installation, and you have rebooted the computer

Good point Greyfox about turning off TeaTimer during an installation. I used to do this Ad-Watch when I used it.

But, I would find it faster to just right-click on the TT tray icon and select "Exit-Spybot-S&D Resident" than to go into Spybot itself to turn TT off.

Cheers!

Exiting TeaTimer during a session will only disable it for that session only. If the user should log out and relogin, TeaTimer will still start during bootup. Disabling TeaTimer via Spybot's Advanced Mode will disable it permanently.

Many software installations do not complete until the computer has been rebooted. As drragostea said, using the right-click on the TT tray icon and selecting "Exit-Spybot-S&D Resident" only shuts down Teatimer for the current session and it restarts at the next bootup. That is the reason I recommended the other method of shutting it down, and then not turning it back on until after the software has completed its installation which is after the reboot.
