TeaTimer won't close when computer turned off
I downloaded the updates a couple days ago and now I cannot just run my computer off. It requires stopping with the Task Pane and then goes into hibernation, so I have to physically turn off the computer. I frequently need to turn the computer off and just leave so this is a great annoyance! The first time I came back a couple of hours later to find the computer (laptop) running on battery power with the task pane just sitting there asking "end now" or "cancel". Now I know I have to wait around because Tea Time doesn't work. Please help me get rid of it so that my computer will turn off when I ask it to! Thank you.
Running: LeNovo 3000 C200 Laptop.

Hope Spybot Jumps in with an Answer Soon!
Same problem with the Dialogue Box freezing the shut-down of my system.
Windows XP SP3
Spybot 1.5.2
If you do a google for this issue, you get LOTS of posts on various forums claiming that the TeaTimer running on SS&D 1.6 is a HUGE system hog. I have an older system that runs just fine for my needs, so please don't suggest that I buy a new system.
So, IS there an answer for those of us running older systems that don't have as much as 1.7gb in memory available for teatimer (one test forum's results)? Is a fix coming for this? Having been infected with a Trojan last month (while AVG and Spybot were running), I'm happy to have TeaTimer's protection available. At this point, however, a disable is looming in our near future.
Does anyone from Spybot have an answer to this issue of "system hog" on 1.6, please? Thanks for this forum.

Just won't close, even with 1.6
I upgraded to 1.6 and only AFTER the upgrade did the problem with tea timer appear. Yikes!
