TeaTimer Issues on Ebay

[rivermandave]

I don't use ANY Ebay toolbars or ANY of their special software.

But yet...I just made a couple of bids for items on there....and then all of a sudden the TeaTimer.exe started running (active in Task Manager...as in scanning).

WTF???

Hello,

The TeaTimer.exe is active the whole time, as it is a resident protection.
So this has nothing to do with Ebay.
Please read this information about TeaTimer:
What is the Resident TeaTimer?
The tutorial (point 8) on our homepage should also help explaining.

Best regards

None of that actually helped Sandra...but then...maybe I should have explained further.

In my 4 years of being on Ebay....I have NEVER seen the TeaTimer.exe using CPU %...so I guess what I'm wondering is....why NOW all of a sudden.

For that matter...it was active this morning when I was deleting Temp Internet files...and it has NEVER done that before either. It got up to 95% CPU this morning for a few seconds
