Answer» both use much memory causing my PC to run very slowly. I've read that teatimer.exe is essential to SPYBOT. Can I make it use LESS memory somehow?
what is rtvscan.exe? same question: can I make it run faster?Welcome to the FORUM!
rtvscan = http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/rtvscan/24769/
teatimer = http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/teatimer/25451/
Hope that helped. rtvscan should stay active unless you decide not to use NORTON.
TeaTimer in all honesty is a bigger pain then anything. I suggest turning it off and using WinPatrol in its place.
How to Disable Spybot's TeaTimer
WinPatrol
thanks for the link and the welcome. it explained clearly what those programs are. i bought and downloaded registry booster 2...not sure yet if it made any difference.
any input on the variety of posts in this and other sites I've seen saying teatimer is not worth using?
thanksIt uses too much memory for what it does is the main complaint. Some PC's it will actually cause blue screens and RANDOM crashes. Then some it works fine on.I've also found TeaTimer to be quite intrusive when it comes to working with other programs. Their heart is in the right place, but I really think you're better off with disabling this feature.thanks...if I disable TeaTimer, will Spybot still be effective or should I just delete Spybot completely?
it would be interesting to hear what spybot has to say about Teatimer's relative worth vs. its hassle.

That's a question they have addressed time and again. They seem to have little patience (understandably) for discussing pros and cons these days. They have said they improved it with the newer builds but I'm not going to try it and see.
Turning it off will not effect the program at all. Just be sure to update and then run the Immunize feature about once a week.
