What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy are you running (Spybot > Help > About)?

If you are running Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4, you are running an old version of Spybot (Spybot 1.5.2 is the latest).

There was 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, you can:
Download and install Spybot 1.5.2.
The downloads can be found here:

Apply one of the workarounds found in the following thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:
