Are you getting balloon notifications labeled Spybot - Search & Destroy from the TeaTimer system tray icon at the same time as popping noises?

Thanks for getting back to me - there are no notifications on my screen, no bubbles no nothing.
Thinking about it I installed adaware 2008 at the same time, I wonder if the popping sound is due to this programme instead? I will have to go and check this out as well.
If you guys do not know what it is from them it must be adaware thatis doing it.
Cheers

To isolate the problem and determine if the popping noises are coming from TeaTimer even though there are no information balloons being displayed, try disabling TeaTimer's presentation of those messages as follows:

- Right click on TeaTimer's icon (actually titled "Spybot-SD Resident") which should be present in the taskbar notification area (system tray) and uncheck "Show info balloons" by clicking on it.

Your welcome and I'm glad that your problem is resolved.
However, the resolution of your problem actually that leaves a concern as to why the popping noises were occurring without the balloons messages being displayed.
What Windows are you running?
Do you have the Windows task bar hidden or is it normally present as the bottom of your screen, etc.?
Although you have apparently resolved your problem, I am attempting to find out if there is the possibly that a common problem exists in the display of TeaTimer's balloon that other users may run into.

Greyfox my first suspect for the underlying cause of Mojby's situation would be that he had disabled all balloon tips for Windows. At least in XP this results in Teatimer popping noises but without the popup balloons even when Teatimer is set to display info balloons.
This is an option available via TweakUI XP the MS Powertool and is easy to forget you have set. In TweakUI it is available via the "Taskbar and StartMenu" section with the tickbox "Disable Balloon Tips". You can obviously also set this directly via a registry tweak - but the TweakUI route is more likely and easier.

Small step! You have to reboot!
