• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Resident part of SB S&D

When I reboot my computer and get back to the Desktop, I get an ICON in the systray for the resident part of the program. How can I go about disabling this??? with my setup, I don't have a use for it AND it is taking up Memory space that could be used for something else.

Thanks and Keep up the good work. I use S & D alot!

  • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) active.
Uncheck:
