Possible problem on reinstall?

[WishBone]

Okay here's the deal when i bought my PC, it had spybot S&D installed with it. I kept on maintaining and updating all software that came along with this PC.
Just recently, i had problems with browser issues(possible hijacks). A friend of mine(IT graduate) said i had to get spybot S&D to fix the problem with these possible hijacks. I said i already have one and i thought mine wasn't fully updated in a way.
What i did was download the latest version on the site 1.6.2 if im not mistaken, uninstalled my old one(also 1.6.2 according to the header) and installed the new installer i downloaded.

Problem is, i used to have this feature where i can scan files one by one by right clicking it then selecting "Scan with Spybot S&D". When i installed the version i got from the site, i lost that feature. Am i missing a setting of some sort? I cant seem to find it anywhere i advanced mode.


EDIT: Also, i have noticed it doesnt open an alert box anymore if i install something.
EDIT2: When i right click the tray icon the click on settings, i had entries on "Allowed registry changes" before.

Hi WishBone,

You have to choose this feature during the installation process. I think it's (almost) the last in that row...

Well, which version of Teatimer do you use? Therefore, right-click on the icon in the right down corner and choose About.
More information here: TeaTimer seems not to be functioning (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=46937).

Clicked about and it says Version 1.6.2.0
System settings protector 1.6.6.32

And for the feature, i guess i have to reinstall. xD

Everything seems to be fine now. The link to the thread you posted helped me find out teatimer allows legit processes in the background and i dont have to go through the prompts(which was annoying)

Last question prior to me second edit on my first post.

They were probably erased when you upgraded.

That's pretty much the case. But my point is, do i need them and if possible, how can i get them back. I cant remember those entries in the first place.

Well, it would not have made a difference if you have allowed all the prompts that comes up and if you had TeaTimer disabled.

To me, there is not much of a difference besides the fact that you'll have to decide to Allow or Deny the prompt when it comes up next time (just a click).
