    Default !DP Launcher found

    (I'm new, so hope I do this correctly). Spybot Search and Destroy has advised by dialog box that an important registry entry has been changed. The Entry: !DPLauncher is showing as New data @ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Default Pack\DPLauncher.EXE" partner=p001 comb=9

    How can I tell if this is a security risk or if it's okay to allow?

    Hello,

    Please read this information about TeaTimer.
    If you surf the web and without any user interaction the TeaTimer pops up and warns about a registry change it is better to "deny",
    but if you install something by yourself it is OK to "allow" the change.
    The tutorial (point 8) on our homepage should also help explaining.

    If you have scanned and fixed items with Spybot you have to allow the registry change that the Resident TeaTimer is asking for.
    Only then the items will be deleted completely.

    Best regards
    Sandra
