View Full Version : TeaTimer will not shut down except manually
I have had Spybot S&D for years, but this is a recent problem. When I shut down the computer, the shut-down is delayed by TeaTimer not closing. I get the slow progress bar in an attempt to close TeaTimer, but in the end, I always get "program not responding" and must click "end now". Thank you for your advice on my next step.

snyders:
What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy and System settings protector (TeaTimer) are you running?
To determine that:
Right click on the TeaTimer icon (actually labeled "Spybot-SD Resident") in the notification area (system tray area) of the taskbar.
Select "About".
This should yield a pop-up dialog with both the version of Spybot - Search & Destroy and the "System settings protector" (TeaTimer).

Please hold off in downloading a replacement for TeaTimer until you have answered the questions above.

The download URL "here (http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/beta/teatimer162.exe)" posted by spybotsandra (http://forums.spybot.info/member.php?u=5) appears to be for TeaTimer 1.6.2.0.
The latest version of TeaTimer seems to be 1.6.3.25 which can be downloaded via the Spybot's integrated updater.
1.5.2.20
Too late; I already downloaded and installed the teatimer162 a few hours ago. As you apparently guessed, this move was ineffectual.
Should I now use the Spybot's integrated updater,
or should I completely uninstall all of Spybot/teatimer, redownload the program, and reinstall?
Also
I download updates 1-2 times/week.

was how I downloaded teatimer 162, and
I have not been able to figure out how to access "1.6.3.25 which can be downloaded via the Spybot's integrated updater." I tried by clicking "update" on the Spybot S&D main menu, and I tried "update spybot S&D" in the "programs" menu of the start button.
@ snyders sorry i provided the wrong information...i thought that was the newest info on this problem...
@spybot fan: thanks for correcting me, i will now know that the latest version is offered through the integrated updater. So i am correct that now this issue is resolved now for users if they use the integrated update function to update teatimer?
