I have tried googling for user information in general, and for activating teacup specifically and am having no luck, can someone here provide me with a link to this information?

If you call it by the right name, Google will produce a wealth of results for Teatimer. The link below will direct you in setting up Teatimer:

Thanks John, as usual your information is golden, and regarding the improper name I stand corrected, and will relate this to the person who told me about "teacup".

I can just imagine all the sites you found with "teacup!"
Glad I could help you.

Not a one in conjunction with Spybot S&D I asure you, now teacup by itself is another issue, mostly teacup poodles.

Teatime is now enabled, thanks again.

Be sure to update Spybot's definitions files and "immunize" your pc now.

Updating my definitions on all of my protection is a regular event, at least for the ones that don't update automatically.

I have had Spybot S&D before, but when I recently wiped my hdd and reinstalled my os I couldn't remember how to enable the teatimer. Then to compound this couldn't remember the name of the feature.
