Hi there, wonder if someone can help. I have recently uninstalled Spybot 1.3 and have downloaded the 1.4 version.
Under the old version, if something was about to be changed, there was an option to accept or deny the change.

The only option I have on this new one is to deny everything whether I want to or not.

Have I downloaded it properly?

Many thanks

There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:
Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

There are three (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:

Disable TeaTimer as follows:
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Uncheck the following:Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.



There is also a beta test version of TeaTimer that appears to resolve the problem. See:

Notes about the patches (b. and c. above):
If you installed Spybot in the default location:
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
The following patch (c.) defaults to that location:

Note# 1: To the right of the Target File (TeaTimer.exe) there is a button that looks like "[ . . . ]". Click on that button, navigate to the correct folder, click "Open" and then "Start".

You're welcome.

Although I also run with an unmodified TeaTimer, if you are interested, the SyreneD patch (http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=2670&postcount=38) is very easy to apply.
Download the patch (http://forums.spybot.info/attachment.php?attachmentid=77&d=1133186444) (patch.exe).
Exit TeaTimer:
Right click on the TeaTimer (Spybot-SD Resident) System Tray Icon then click "Exit Spybot-S&D Resident".
Backup the following file by copying it to another folder (just in case):
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe
Execute the patch (patch.exe) download above.
Restart TeaTimer:
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.
