• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Registry Popup Problem

I have Spybot S&D (free) installed and now I'm trying to download Zone Alarm Firewall (free) but during the download process, a Spybot registry box keeps poping up during this download and is preventing me to complete the ZA download. Can I temporarily disable Spybot or turn off these registry popups and how do I do this? Or is there something else I can do?
 
ffofficer:

TeaTimer should not prevent the installation of ZoneAlarm as long as answer the TeaTimer dialog messages with "Allow change".

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