Teatimer auto approving everything

[southdave]

Hi Guys,

I posted this to another forum but was pointed to the latest teatimer beta (1.6.6.32) which i have installed and tried but still have the same problem.

To get around the multiple prompts i was getting from teatimer in response to the Spybot auto scan overnight adding autorun entries to remove old files at boot time i selected the remember this setting option.

However, now i got no prompts at all from teatimer. No AutoRun prompt. Not even a prompt when i change my IE start page. The log just shows entries like below:


05/03/2009 03:43:59 Allowed (based on user decision) value "SpybotDeletingA5945" (new data: "command.com /c del "C:\WINDOWS\SchedLgU.Txt"") added in System Startup global entry!
05/03/2009 11:18:17 Allowed (based on user decision) value "Start Page" (new data: "about:blank") changed in Browser page!
I checked the teatimer settings and there are no entries in the allow/blocked for processes or registry.


i have tried to reset the lists but that didnt make any affect.

Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.

Dave

Hi Sandra,

sorry about this. I took from the first post that i should discuss it in the beta forum when i had tried the new version.

I did try the new version after reading the posts that you pointed me to, but those posts did not answer the question.

Why do i no longer get any prompts for the types of entries that i indicated. (addititons to registry run groups, changes to IE home page etc.) Both of which seem to imply that there was a user decision, when infact there was not.

Regards,
Dave

I've been having this same bug for months now. And I also re-installed vista (from recovery CD) four times and it asked for a permission only once over all those re-install, and that is in this latest install.
This is surely not some install bug of any.
But I would like to know if there are any possibility that some autorun.ini files, from any virus or worm, that might stay on any of my D:CD drive and E:CD drive (in any drivers files for example) that might forever hijack any of my re-install?
Is my question has any sense? Because I've been trying to get an answer from everywhere on other forum without any result.
Can I really rely on a recovery CD to clean-up everything totally?

thx
