    Default Spybot detection window & cancelation of scan problem

    Hi,
    Just wanted to check whether anyone has experience the following problems with spybot 1.4:

    (a)If scan is stopped, Spybot does a few more checks but its window does not close. In task manager I see it is running but using up over 85% of cpu. After eg 4 minutes, the window still hasn't closed - then I kill it via taskmanager.

    (b)When something is detected , the window indicates what was detected but the two buttons asking for what should be done are covered by the info about what was detected and the window cannot be resized vertically to see the two butons.

    I assume that you have activated TeaTimer and are having problem like the one shown in the attachment.

    There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's pup-up dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing and I am still able to select the options (on your's they don't appear to be). I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". See the attachment for button locations. Note: If you close the dialog the regestry change will be denied.

    If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:
    1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

    2. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
      • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
      • Uncheck the following:
        • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
