re: TeaTimer.

The registry change portion of TeaTimer is not rule based. TeaTimer monitors approximately 35 registry keys. If any change is made to one of the registry keys that TeaTimer is monitoring a popup dialog is issued asking you to either "Allow change" or "Deny change", unless you previously used the "Remember this decision" and then answered "Allow change" or "Deny change" in which case TeaTimer will only issue a popup notification of the action it took.

I will repeat - the registry change portion of TeaTimer is not rule based. When you get a popup dialog such as the following:
  • Spybot - Search & Destroy

    Spybot - Search & Destroy has detected an important registry entry that has been changed.
TeaTimer has not attempted to interpret if that registry change is good, bad or indifferent. The only thing that TeaTimer is doing, is informing you that a change occurred and giving you the opportunity to either "Allow" or "Deny" that change.

You should also keep in mind:
  1. You cannot reverse any Registry change decisions ("Allow change" or "Deny change") that you make with TeaTimer. You have to redo whatever you were doing so that the Registry change is done again (or manually edit the Registry).
  2. If you allow all changes, you would be no worse off than if I didn't have Teatimer Enabled at all.
  3. If you deny the wrong change you can adversely affect the stability, functionality and security of your system.
If you understand what TeaTimer is actually doing from the above description, then you should be able to make an informed decision at to whether or not you should continue to use Spybot's TeaTimer.

re: The problems you are having.

I believe that tashi suggested that you post in the Malware Removal forum in the following post:

Please start a topic in malware removal and I will ask Lonny to take a look.
Don't worry about removing anything just yet. :)
Thanks.
