Thanks Peter:
I closed/disabled TeaTimer in Spybot S&D, rebooted but the "Warning Sign"
still pops up.
I understand that too many Real Time applications will slow down the system.
Now, what you and Panda_man are saying is that On-demand applications will
also slow down the system!? Peter, please bear with me and clarify this as
I'm totally confused. I am not a technical person and my queries are
genuine (I'm not trying to be clever!).
Also, do you consider my Real Time applications an overkill?
My system is running like a charm, start-up is under 20 seconds, browsing it
is fast, responsive and 'snappy'. I am extremely happy with its performance.
After a couple of bad infections I followed D.Lippmans advice and practice
(about 90%) 'save hex'. http://www.claymania.com/safe-hex.html
Again, thanks in advance.
Regards,

Try and close Tea Timer. I have to agree with Panda Man . Too much and an
overkill. Lucky you still have your system running at a fast pace or without
too many issues
