For any future releases of Spybot-S&D, please consider modifying the "Select Additional Tasks" dialog of Spybot's installation wizard. I am making this suggest because I feel that many people check "Use system settings projection (TeaTimer)" during the installation process not realizing the possible impact of that decision.

When activating TeaTimer from within Spybot you must first go into Advanced mode which carries the following warning:

Warning

The advanced mode of Spybot-S&D offers more options than the default mode; but those also include some that can do harm to your system if you are not sure what you are doing. Do you really want to switch to advanced mode?

[Yes] [No]
When activating TeaTimer during the installation process there is no indication may not be suitable for use by all users.

I recommend that the "Select Additional Tasks" dialog of Spybot's installation wizard be changed as follows:
  • Instead of this:

    Setup - Spybot - Search & Destroy

    Select Additional Tasks
    Which additional tasks should be performed?

    Select the additional tasks you would like Setup to perform while installing Spybot - Search & Destroy, then click Next.

    Additional icons:
    ■ Create desktop icons
    ■ Create a Quick Launch icon

    Permanent protection:
    ■ Use Internet Explorer protection (SDHelper)
    □ Use system settings projection (TeaTimer)

    [ Back ] [ Next ] [ Cancel ]
  • I believe it should read something like:

    Setup - Spybot - Search & Destroy

    Select Additional Tasks
    Which additional tasks should be performed?

    Select the additional tasks you would like Setup to perform while installing Spybot - Search & Destroy, then click Next.

    Additional icons:
    ■ Create desktop icons
    ■ Create a Quick Launch icon

    Permanent protection:
    ■ Use Internet Explorer protection (SDHelper)

    Permanent protection (Advanced mode tool - can do harm to your system if you are not sure what you are doing):
    □ Use system settings projection (TeaTimer)
