Sometimes it's difficult to know WHAT things you do or don't need.  Some 
are obvious - like if you are installing software, there is often 
changes made to the registry, and the info onscreen in Tea Timer will 
give you a clue. When it's not so obvious, you'll have to do a little 
research - using Google, this mailing list, etc.  Tea Timer is not self 
set, you have to manually enable it within Spybot menu : Mode/Advanced, 
click Tools on the bottom/left, then Resident on the left, then the 
checkbox to the right "Resident TeaTimer (Protection of over-all system 
settings) active".  You will then see a new icon in the tray.
The latest version of TeaTimer has a video glitch with its' poupup 
buttons, so you may find MS Antispyware a better (also free) option at 
the moment, and it's also more user friendly than TeaTimer, but not sure 
if it's compatible with Win9x/Me.
