It seems that with TeaTimer 1.5.0.9 enabled with IE Resident protection enabled I am not able to get Yahoo Mail Beta to work. I get prompted by the resident if I want to allow/deny loading of some URLs which seem to be ad related, e.g. doubleclick.net, admt.net, etc.

If I disable TeaTimer and the resident protection then all is fine. It also works OK from Firefox regardless of whether TeaTimer is running or not and obviously having the IE Resident enabled has no effect on Firefox.

Anyone else seeing the same problem? Has Yahoo added some counter-measures against blocking these ad URLs by apps such as Spybot?

More importantly, how can I tweak Spybot/TeaTimer to make it work without fully disabling it?

After looking at it some more, it seems it's the IE Resident and not really TeaTimer. Attached is a screenshot of one of these URL's that get blocked. What's strange is that the URL is identified as a TagASaurus Trojan downloader which does not seem right, that's just an ad site and I doubt Yahoo would push trojans to its users.

For now I disabled the IE Resident, but it's not a good solution.

Could someone please look into this?

I'm not sure why SDHelper is blocking these ad sites. Is this a bug or is SDHelper and ad blocker now? How can it be fixed/disabled?
