    Can you describe the report that you are getting the graphic error on?

    If you optionally chose to install TeaTimer during the installation of Spybot, TeaTimer does issue dialog messages titled "Spybot – Search & Destroy" for registry changes where some of the buttons are overlaid. There is a fix for that problem.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    what is the most easy way to uninstall spybot?
    If I do not chose tea timer is there then no error in graphic? Is it good enough then? I think it is too hard to fix that error?

    Hello,

    We have already been able to locate and fix it. The fix will be downloadable with our next program upgrade. We hope that it will be available soon.
    As a current solution you can work with your keyboard. Use the cursor keys to switch between the buttons ("Allow" is on the left, "Deny" on the right) and the space key to enter your selection. You can also press "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". The Checkbox for "Remember this decision" will work correctly in spite of the graphical issue. If you don't like to use the above workarounds you can disable TeaTimer as follows:
    - Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
    - Uncheck the following: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
    For more information please have a look here:

    And you'll find a little workaround here:

    So if you do not use the resident TeaTimer there won't be any graphic problem.
    Uninstall instructions for Spybot Search and Destroy you will find here:
