• 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.

Hello,
I know this sounds like a stupid question:
Do I run a scan in Advanced Mode, THEN uncheck Resident TeaTimer, THEN restart my computer?
OR
Do I uncheck Resident TeaTimer first, THEN run a scan in Advanced Mode, THEN restart my computer?
Thanks,
Brian
 
Hello BrianSPYBOT08,

The instructions aren't to run a Spybot-S&D scan in advanced mode, rather showing how to disable the teatimer. :)
When Spybot-S&D is installed.

TeaTimer needs to be disabled so that its protection does not interfere with fixes.
How Spybot-S&D protects against the installation of Spyware/Malware.

TeaTimer can be re-enabled once the computer is clean. :)

1. Open Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode.
2. If it is not already set to do this go to the "Mode" menu and select "Advanced Mode".
3. On the left hand side, click on "Tools".
4. Then click on the Resident Icon in the List.
5. Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts.
6. Restart your computer.
