Keeps asking permission to make changes

After a scan with spybot I clicked on 'fix problems' and I also updated and now my computer won't quit asking me for permission to make changes. I say yes and it pops back up, I say no and it pops back up. I've ignored it, but the shield icon on the bottom of my screen keeps blinking. I was going to uninstall, but wasn't sure that would work. Thanks for any help.
 
Hello,

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.

Please read this information about TeaTimer:
What is the resident 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 do not like the resident TeaTimer you can disable it as follows:
- Go into Spybot - Mode - Advanced Mode - Tools - Resident.
- Uncheck the following: Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Best regards
Sandra

Thanks. The blinking icon is gone today. I had tried restarting yesterday to clear it, but that didn't work. I guess it worked the second time. Thanks again for the tea timer info.
