Teatimer auto approving everything

[southdave]

Hi Guys,

To get around the multiple prompts i was getting from teatimer in response to the Spybot auto scan overnight adding autorun entries to remove old files at boot time i selected the remember this setting option.

However, now i got no prompts at all from teatimer. No AutoRun prompt. Not even a prompt when i change my IE start page. The log just shows entries like below:

05/03/2009 03:43:59 Allowed (based on user decision) value "SpybotDeletingA5945" (new data: "command.com /c del "C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.Txt"") added in System Startup global entry!
05/03/2009 11:18:17 Allowed (based on user decision) value "Start Page" (new data: "about:blank") changed in Browser page!

I checked the teatimer settings and there are no entries in the allow/blocked for processes or registry.

Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Dave

Hello,

Probably you have installed the new TeaTimer Beta version that was available with on of the latest updates. This TeaTimer version only displays the bad registry changes.
You will find it also in our forum for download: http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=42 and discussion: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=44772

But: you'll find a new "Paranoid mode" switch in its tray icons context menu that will give you the old behaviour

Hi Peppi,

thanks for your reply. I installed the latest beta (1.6.6.32) because it mentioned the paranoid mode but i dont get it on my context menu.

Is there a magic handshake i need to use to make it appear, or is there a reg key that would also do it that i can create.

Cheers for your help.

Hi southdave,

reboot your computer and you will get it.

reboot your computer and you will get it.

Unfortunately i have tried that twice already thinking it may have been something that needed to be registered, but still no option :-(

Hi southdave,

sorry ... now I'm confused.

When you right-click on the TeaTimer icon, then you can't see the entry "paranoid mode" ??

[southdave]

nope :-(

i installed it by just coping the new teatimer.exe from the zip posted in the download area, then restarted teatimer.exe.

Is this enough to get it going?
