MD USA, I tried what you suggested for removing the startup popups from Teatimer - i.e., I quit the S&D Resident icon. Then I went to the spybot folder and double-clicked teatimer.exe. A minute or so later the icon reappeared on my status bar, and then all those popups appeared again! I then went to the Resident settings and found the Black & white list intact. Is that the way it's supposed to be? Did I miss something here? Why did the popups that always appear when I boot my machine come back?
