View Full Version : SpyBot v1.6 and Resident Scans

v1.6 has a new feature: Resident Scans. With this feature, SpyBot scans each new process for malware. Unfortunately, this makes process invocation extremely slow; and, it is silly, when running the same (trusted) process over and over.

Is there a way to disable Resident Scans? If not, I'll have to kiss SpyBot goodbye, since the performance impact is too severe to live with.

Thanks & Cheers, Bob

Even if you can't live with "performance impact" of TeaTimer and its "Resident Scans" there is no reason to "kiss SpyBot goodbye".

To disable TeaTimer:
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Uncheck the following:Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
