Hi. I've seen the threads about the corrupted TeaTimer popups. But I would like to just disable it on the machines here that had S&D installed using TeaTimer. But when I do that (Tools > Uncheck Resident), upon restart, Resident is once again checked. There is no APPLY button or anything to help S&D remember my choice. Or it may be a permissions thing as the users have little or no permissions to do anything. Is there a back way to resolve this? Thanks in advance for any help. No help...and I shoot this dog. :bigthumb:

Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.
Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!
Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.
We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

What you did should have worked. Are you running any software (other than TeaTimer) that may be preventing the removal of the following registry entry?
Stopping TeaTimer from running:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SpybotSD TeaTimer"="C:\\Program Files\\Spybot - Search & Destroy\\TeaTimer.exe"- Make sure that TeaTimer is not running by checking for the TeaTimer System Tray Icon. If the icon is there:
- Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon > click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident. TeaTimer should close.
- Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident
- Uncheck (if checked) the following:
Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
- Uncheck (if checked) the following:

Thanks for your response! Yeah, I'm running BitDefender 8 as well. There seems to be a bit of nastiness between the two. And thanks for the reg key. I will see to that right away.
And finally, I love Spybot. LOVE it. Hell, I'd even marry it if I we both lived in West Virginia.
