New processes have been scanned

[Spideri]

I downloaded Spybot 1.6 yesterday. Now when I navigate around the internet I get a pop up in the lower right corner saying "Spybot - Search & Destroy (upper line) New processes have been scanned" (lower line). Is there a way to stop this message from popping up? Thanks.

Spideri:

Right click on TeaTimer's icon (actually titled "Spybot-SD Resident") which should be present in the taskbar notification area (system tray) and uncheck "Show info balloons" by clicking on it.

md,

Thanks for remedy. That took care of it.

Yeah, thank you for this tip. I was getting annoyed to the point of wanting to uninstall it -- or at the very least, disable the resident.

Note to Safer-Networking ... perhaps having notifications turned off by default would have been a better choice.

Thanks from me too - it was driving me slightly mad!

I installed SD 1.6 yesterday, and am generally pleased with the new software. However, I too am annoyed with the pop up info balloons and the clicking sound for the process scans. Unchecking the "show info balloons" had no effect, and I still have balloons and clicks. Am I missing something?

After a restart, after unchecking the "show balloon info", there is no longer a problem. The only balloons that show up now are the ones where a registry entry is changing, which is fine, but the frequent process scan balloons were a bother. I should have known a restart would be necessary.
