• 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.

Disabling Teatimer

I need to disable teatimer without uninstalling. I saw instructions to go to the tools section, but I do not see this on my Spybot control panel. HELP!
 
To disable TeaTimer and remove its startup entry:
  • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident
    • Uncheck (if checked) the following:
      Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
To temporarally close TeaTimer and restart it later:
  • Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon > click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident.
    • TeaTimer closes.
  • Restart TeaTimer:
    • Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    • Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.
 
Disabled Teatimer

Do I need to reboot for the disable/enable of Teatimer to take effect? I am only disabling temporarily so I can download Prevx1R, Zonealarm and a few other freeware spy/malware tools. Thanks again.
