Fairly new to SpyBot S&D as I'm coming from a Linux background. Recently installed Windows XP SP2 on one of my partitions for gaming, and then threw on Eset's antirvirus and S&D for spyware.

Everything's running just fine, but just curious as to TeaTimer's memory usage. The FAQ states that it should use ~5MB of memory. My process list is clocking it at a little over 30MB. Is that normal? It seems to be working properly, just wondering.

Thanks

The FAQ is a bit outdated there, from an early TeaTimer version. I think I already forwarded this to someone to get updated (at least in the FAQ that's part of the help, need to make sure that gets mirrored to the website as well!). The actually usage did grow since then with the amount of monitored registry entries; it also depends on the number of running processes it has to monitor (e.g. when the FAQ entry was created, NT 4 or Windows 2000 had a smaller number of standard processes running than Windows XP or Vista have now).
