hey all, i've noticed that sometimes the "deny" button is blanked out in the teatimer popup window, does anyone know what the conditions are for this to happen?

The "Deny change" option is grayed out (is not an option) on changes such as the removal of a Browser Helper Object (Value deleted). This is speculation but I assume that the "Deny change" is grayed out because by the time TeaTimer recognizes the Registry change the underlying code for the BHO has been deleted and therefore denying the change would do no good to save the BHO from being deleted. I also assume that the same would hold true for a "Value deleted" for an ActiveX process and possibly other changes. In this case the registry change dialog serves as a warning that something has changed.

ok, cool, thanx... dnt really understand it all, but i get the concept... wld it not be better if spybot could "save" the old data, so that you could still deny the change?
