Part of me agrees with you, but I got bored of all the popups so I just disabled it.

Well, I was tempted to port that switch to decide which actions to cover back to 1.6, but the new release was just too close and testing of the various browser things difficult enough.
Will hurry up on the 2.0 road though

I agree, TeaTimer needs the user to have background information to know how to answer to those alerts. It's like a HIPS.
Perhaps, the solution could be to turn TeaTimer into a smart and strong behavior blocker?
Hello m00nbl00d
My suggestion: TeaTimer should be a separate tool
Perhaps in a custom installation you can have the option on whether you want to install it or not?

There is the option available during the installation to NOT have Teatimer.
There is the option after install to turn off Teatimer or turn on Teatimer via the Tools/Resident page on a "semi permanent" basis, or to disable Teatimer on a temporary basis via the right click menu from the task bar icon. How many more options do you need?
And more important: as I mentioned it won't be in 2.0 this way anyway
The decide-on-unknown will be an option the user has to turn on himself if he wants it. Incompatible parts can be disabled one by one, even automatically (if detection of incompatiblity provides that information).

Hello.Hello m00nbl00d
My suggestion: TeaTimer should be a separate toolWhere have I "seen" you before, uh? :D
That's an option. I believe your point, is that, those, who do not wish to use Spybot, could still use the TeaTimer as a stand alone HIPS?
Still, there's alot people who have no idea how to deal with such tools, hence, I believe, that a smart behavior blocker would be better. That way, those users wouldn't fear if whatever they just allowed would harm their system or if they blocked something they shouldn't have.
Perhaps something like HauteSecure has, but take it further, as in, protecting the whole system and not just working, mainly, with the web browsers, specially IE and Firefox, in HauteSecure's case.
Just a thought.

Between things yesterday I looked at the code and found that a simple "paranoid mode" switch in old TeaTimer would not be more than a handful of lines as well. After reading this thread we also took a look at uninstallation feedback and found TeaTimer to be mentioned
If anyone wants to give it a try and give feedback, it might become a quick update: test version.
