Thread Name: Tech: SpyBot Search and Destroy Question
Subject: RE: Tech: SpyBot Search and Destroy Question
I've been digging around trying to find out why my computer is so slow to load these days. I defragged, cleaned up the files, deleted all cookies and temp files, ran spybot, have avg running all of the time, plus updating everyday. Tried to run AdAware but it's not happy for some reason, may need to download a newer version or new all together? I had just added Firefox Ad Blocker Plus a few weeks ago and things did seem to slow down shortly after, but I thought it was just the ads trying to load. It's happening on other sites, too, though, including google search homepage.

So, in looking at my Processes I see listed at the top "Teatimer.exe" and it's using a LOT of space/ram/memory/whatever you call it. So I look up what in the heck it is...a part of spybot which may have an error, would I like to download a repair thingie from HERE which I was led to from WikiAnswers, a random result from google search.

Question, have any of you used that repair site software and/or do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!!
