Mostly that I didn't have SP3 yet (when I say short, I mean from possible
updates, not just automatic ones).
My wife installed spybot, so I can't say if she checked tea timer or not.
However, the program wasn't ever run to my knowledge, as I uninstalled it
more or less as soon as I saw it as I've had some issues with SpyBot before.
