In the spbot executable folder contaning teatimer.exe I found:
CFWAERZLBASQRH.scr
GEYNVSA.scr
GKQWFFINYGLASAXL.scr
HAPLTV.scr
LUNQYEIQ.scr
SHRGICYKXKDVQLJ.scr
UDADQLVR.scr
VZEERLMIYIOTDR.scr

files and besides them looking very scary they are .scr files which used to be used for screensavers. Can you give us a bit more information as to their purpose in spybot? Are they used by TeaTimer ? Do they access the internet at all when opened. I realize you must keep your secrets here but any information you can give here would be appreciated. e.g are they supposed to be there?

They are normal, it is a defense mechanism against malware.
