• 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.

Hi. I keep getting Resident messages referring to my Black and White Lists and when I click on Resident, all I get is an Error message saying "Text exceeds memo capacity". How can I access these lists please.? Cheers, Alpha. :scratch:
 
To take care of the "Text exceeds memo capacity" click on the "Archive log" button and Spybot will create a Resident.yymmdd-hhmm.log file and clear the current log. The next time TeaTimer has logging activity new Resident.log will be created.

The Resident.yymmdd-hhmm.log and Resident.log file are located in one of the following folders:
  • Windows 95 or 98:
    C:\Windows\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
  • Windows ME:
    C:\Windows\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs
  • Windows NT, 2000 or XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs

**********************

You can edit the "White & Black List" entries that TeaTimer uses to automatically "Allow" or "Deny" changes that were based on the use of "Remember this decision" as follows:
  • Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon and select Settings. This will bring up TeaTimer's "White & Black List". There are four (4) Buttons across the top of the "White & Black List":
    • Allowed processes
    • Blocked processes
    • Allowed registry changes
    • Blocked registry changes

      Note: If you don't see all four buttons, try expanding the window to the right.
  • You can review all the entries that you have stored by clicking on these buttons. The entries that you should review are in "Allowed registry changes" and "Blocked registry changes". You can delete entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry that you want to delete and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done. This will in effect make TeaTimer forget what you told it to remember so that during future changes to these items TeaTimer will issue a pop-up dialog rather then just a notification pop-up.

Hi.md. Sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for the detailed information but I can't find the "archive log" button -- can you give me a pointer please.? As a supplementary,can you suggest why I keep being told that my email address is invalid when I try to post a query on the Spybot site.? I tried putting in several of my (valid!) screen names but was still rejected. Cheers, Alpha. :scratch:
 
What version of Spybot are you running (from Spybot > Help > About)?

The "Archive log" Button does not exist in Spybot 1.3. In Spybot 1.4 go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Tools > Resident. It is to the right of the Help Button at the top of the right hand pane (see attached thumbnail).
