The TeaTimer is a program that searches for spyware upon startup correct? How do I turn the tea timer off and still keep S & D, I thought I had to have the tea timer to use S & D.
I have rebooted since I installed CCleaner. When I was shuting down today, I got a weird error message, I'll have to capture it and see if it has to do with the cleaner.

Hi Chrissy,
Do you have Windows Defender deactivated ? If not then you should not have TeaTimer also running.
I have no personal Vista experience but I have heard that there can be conflicts with Spybot and CCleaner.
Perhaps some Vista users will give us more advice.
In CCleaner Tools > Startup is there an entry for TeaTimer? It has been awhile since I tried Spybot but I think I recall turning off TeaTimer and just using Spybots scanner. I have only 256 MB RAM.
Okay under S & D Resident tab there thre are two spots to check or uncheck, one says "SD Helper" internet explorer bad download blocker active, I have this checked as active is that going to cause a conflict? Then there is "TeaTimer" protection of overall system settings active and I have now unchecked this. This is the only place I could find where it mentioned TeaTimer. I can still scan using S & D and have the same protection? I also have Norton Antivirus for scanning so I think I am okay.
I also checked under the startup menu of CCleaner and there is no TeaTimer under the list. There are a few things that I have no idea what they are and would love to find out what they are. One says "swy" another "RtHDVCpl" and "ccapp" which I believe is CCleaner application if I am not mistaken. Can I not disable the CCapp from start up and just start it up on my own accord?
Oh and I do have windows Defender active. If I turn off TeaTimer will there still be a conflict between S & D and CCleaner?
Thanks for everyones help this forum is awesome. Hopefully someday I'll be able to help others too.
