    Smile Before You Post instructions "help"

    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.
