TeaTimer.exe

Hello,

I have Windows XP and have Spybot 1.5.2 and recently when I go to shut down my computer I get a "Program not responding" notice which relates to the Teatimer.exe program. I then have to press 'end now' in order for my pc to shut down.

I have also noticed that when I start up my pc, the spybot icon no longer appears in my taskbar.

Are these two things connected? I've read a few of the other threads to do with Teatimer and some people have similar comments, but I'm still not certain what to do. I know there is a newer Spybot available. Would this solve this problem when i shut down?

Finally, (my knowledge of computers is pretty basic i'm afraid!), if I were to upgrade to the latest Spybot, in simple terms, how do you uninstall an old version of Spybot and install a new one?

Thanks for your time.

Can you try to download the latest version of Spybot-Search&Destroy (1.6.0.30)?

In addition, here are some thorough explanations provided my md usa spybot fan, on how to remove Spybot-SD completely (better for a fresh install).

Thanks for the reply, drragostea.

Will try to uninstall my old Spybot and try the new one. Will let you know how I get on. I usually rely on my PC savvy friend to do these things for me!
