View Full Version : Registry message has me puzzled
I just loaded SpyBot on my new computer. Now I'm getting a message that says SB "has detected an important registry entry that has been changed." The message cites McAffee as the progam in question. When I close the message I get another one that access to the registry has been denied. How can I get this to stop popping up?
That sounds like Teatimer.There is a page explaining all about Teatimer here:
What is the Resident TeaTimer (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/33.html)
If you click the close box on Teatimer,it will Deny the change,the same as if you clicked the Deny button.
There is a sticky topic here to fix the Allow/Deny buttons on Teatimer:

If you would prefer to disable Teatimer,you can do so by opening Spybot,click Mode,then select Advanced Mode,then click tools,then resident and remove the checkmark beside Resident "Teatimer".You can return Spybot to normal mode,by clickingmode,then Default Mode.

I Joined this forum to try and solve a problem easily.
I've installed Norton Internet security 2007 without de-installing spybot S&D
everything seems to work properly. Norton telling us they were incompatible and demanding a de-install of spybot seems childish to me, I ended spybot SD Resident(teatimer), ignored the warning from Norton and installed anyway, everything seems to be working fine together now.
Wish Norton could have said turn off resident, instead of de-install spybot, and why it's supposed to be incompatible instead of it just is.
You do a great job even inside windows vista RC1, which I also run as a dual boot system on this machine, which is indeed more than symantec can say.
Like evryone they had access to windows vista as long as you, but Internet security2007 isn't "out of the box" compatible as are you.
I'd hate to see either company go down, and it would be sad too to see such fine firms at each others throats!
I'd rather have both of you spening your money on the improvement of your respective programmes than on fighting with each other.
Symantec is getting a very bad name for that.
Spybot is a great programme, keep up the good work!
