I had that but the language used was too techical for me so I didn't really understand how to use it - which made it fairly useless, so I binned it!

Used to use it but then I found it conflicted with my anti-virus software and slowed the whole machine down - so I scrapped it.

Maybe it's not a problem with the latest version of my anti virus software .... but I've not tried it out.

use spybot with adaware - no problems

however - i do not use teatimer as a part of the spybot stuff - it does slow the system down

i would reccomend it for most people


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I use teatimer it only slows down my system a fraction when on the internet, otherwise it has no effect.

Sam I don't use free antivirus progs, thats only on my daughters machine as she doesn't need such high security software.
