my question is simple : do they do the same job (avast with script blocker) and do they interfere together… i never dared using spybot’s tea timer… :-[
do i need to activate tea timer plus avast script blocker
The Tea timer is like the residen shield of Spybot which perpetually monitors the processes called/initiated. It immediately detects known malicious processes wanting to start and terminates them giving you some options how to deal with this process in the future: You can set TeaTimer to:
- be informed, when the process tries to start again
- automatically kill the process
- or generally allow the process to run There is also an option to delete the file associated with this process.
In addition, TeaTimer detects, when something wants to change some critical registry keys. TeaTimer can protect you against such changes again giving you an option: You can either “Allow” or “Deny” the change. As TeaTimer is always running in the background, it takes some resources of about 5 MB.
The script blocker, block script based viruses or malware or dangerous scripts. I dont know if they interfer with each other.
No… TeaTimer is an adware monitor (startup items basically).
avast is a full antivirus. avast script blocker caught infected scripts running (starting) in your machine.
No, in fact they will do a great job togheter 8)
I use WinPatrol to monitor my computer if anything changes. Teatimer and Script Blocker won’t interfere, don’t see why. I don’t think Tea Timer needs 5 Mb now these days, Teatimer took nearly 6.8 Mb from my RAM so I disable it.
