spybot detected (help needed)

[don hillery]

When spybot-search & destroy pop-up window popsup, saying it has detected an important registry entry that has been changed, I can't determine which box to click on to either allow or don't allow. The name at the box's are blurred to where I can't tell which one is which. One on the left or the one on the right. I haven't found any info on this in the help section as to what it really means. Can you tell me where to find more info on what it means, as well as which (left or right box) is "allow" or "don't allow".
Thanks, Don

More on the subject:

There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:

1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

   • Uncheck the following:
     • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried all; a,b, & c. only got one to work: It was "c" originally by SyreneD?

I'm glad that you were able to get one of the fixes to work.

Personally, I still run with the original code since on my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are visible. Just knowing the location of the buttons allows me to select the proper entries.

Best of luck and safe surfing,
