Registry Lock out

[harleyman]

I just downloaded the newer version of spybot. When a registry change request came up - the buttons were not clear, and i could not read the text, or see the box definitions. When loading new software, I thought the yes box was in a certain area, and it selected deny. I cannot use the software, and don't know how to erase/overwrite this decision.

Is THIS (http://forums.spybot.info/attachment.php?attachmentid=2&d=1130189700) or THIS (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=44) the problem you are having? if so then you are NOT using the latest version of Spybot. The Current version is 1.5.2.20 and can be downloaded HERE (http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html) and the full uninstall instructions are HERE (http://www.spybot.info/en/howto/uninstall.html).

Tea Timer FAQs HERE (http://www.spybot.info/en/faq/33.html) and HERE (http://www.spybot.info/en/tutorial/index.html) explain how the Tea Timer works and how to use it.

If you problem is NOT one imentioned in the links Then I have no idea what is going on.


To help better diagnose your Problem we need to know the following infomation:

Which Operating System do you use Windows 98, XP etc and is it fully updated?

Which Virus Scanner you are using Avast!, AVG etc?

Which Firewall you are using Zone Alarm, Comodo etc?

Eh well, basic idea is:

--In TeaTimer 1.5:

If you check "Remember this decision" on a registry change, the information concerning that change it is stored in a file. TeaTimer uses that information to automatically "Allow" or "Deny" similar registry changes for all future changes. To edit that information: Right click on the TeaTimer system tray icon (labeled "Spybot-SD Resident") 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 registry changes
Blocked registry changes
Allowed processes
Blocked processes
You can review all the entries that you have stored by clicking on these buttons. If entries you are interested in are for registry changes, the entries that you should review are in "Allowed registry changes" and "Blocked registry changes". You can delete stored entries by clicking on the scripted black "X" to the right of the entry that you want to delete, answering "Yes" to the confirmation dialog and then clicking the "OK" button when you're done.

You can find the TeaTimer icon on the taskbar.

The latest version can be found in the links provided by Terminator.
What is your OS? Is it patched?

I just downloaded the newer version of spybot. "When a registry change request came up - the buttons were not clear, and i could not read the text,"

It sounds like he is using spybot version 1.4. Spybot version 1.4 had this problem with teatimer. Make sure you are running the latest spybot version!! :)
