  Pros

  I haven't found any yet.

  Cons

  I work at a school with dozens of computers. I have noticed that almost all of them take over 10 minutes to start up, even if fairly new, and that they all run very slowly. Even with nothing but Firefox running, the CPU will be at 98% or so. I noticed all of them had something called Teatimer that was eating up the CPU. What's Teatimer? It's this piece of junk. As soon as I shut it down or uninstall it, the computers always run like a charm. Thanks Spybot.

  Summary

  Not good.

  I'm sorry your school's computers are junk, but don't blame it on Spybot.
  
  For your information, TeaTimer is an extension of Spybot that acts much like the Windows User Account Control. When any major change to the registry is made, Spybot will ask you "Allow or Deny". It's really handy and it stops malicious programs from accessing the the registry.
