Tea Timer in Spybot 1.6 and CPU Usage

[rkhwulf]

I run a computer business out of my home so i install spybot on a real variety of fast and slower computers. I have observed in Spybot 1.6 that if Tea Timer is initiated at boot up as normal that it ties up the CPU at 100% for quite some time. This will eventually go away after a while on a really fast computer BUT on an older slower computer the tie-up of the cpu at 100% is very crippling. I have had to resort to not booting up Tea Timer in order for any somewhat older computer to be able to run. This is not an ideal thing to do since i am losing the protection of resident Tea Timer. I am positive Tea Timer is the culprit because if i stop it from running then the cpu percentage drops back to 4% or less at once. Any have an idea on this ???

There is a beta release which resolves the memory usage issue:

It's also available through the integrated updater starting today if you have the beta function enabled (beta is the update method, not TeaTimer itself, which looked fine in the beta forum thread).

Many thanks to you two guys for pointing me to the 1.6.1 update for Tea Timer. The new one seems to do more and do it much more efficiently. It seems to have solved my problem at least on the faster computers.

Glad this resolved the problem.
