Hi there.
Please see this topic:

By the beta fix I believe member is referring to:
Solution to fix the pop-ups in TeaTimer. (Spybot-S&D V 1.4) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=122)

However I do not know why:

i'm also now experiencing update problems with clamwin and also windows update.

The problems updating all three programs started at the same time?

i believe that beta is just to fix that glitch in the way the tea timer displays, not the update issue...thanks for your help, though.

Right. :) I was clarifying that particular comment in the topic; but member resolved the issue by re-installing Spybot.
