Tea Timer Question

[cindy5663]

While looking at my Windows Processes screen I found that Tea Timer is taking up almost 105K memory. Is this normal? The system is only taking up 78K and nothing else I'm running takes up anywhere near this amount of memory.

Can anyone give me any info here?

thx,
C :confused:

I would reinstall the program. Seems like teatimer is bugged, or you are maybe infected with malwares or trojans. Someone will answer you better than me, so just wait ;)

Hello,

When the computer is running for a long time without a standby, reboot, or shutdown memory consumption of a (refers to any) can slightly increase.

It's taking that much because TeaTimer is a Resident Shield that actively protects you from malware. I would suggest you reboot and see how it goes. Usually TeaTimer will take up 35-50MB of RAM. Seeing that modern PCs built today have more RAM and resources, 80MB should be nothing.

If this does not help you can disable TeaTimer as follows:
- Go into Spybot - Mode - Advanced Mode - Tools - Resident.
- Uncheck the following: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
