Spybot 1.4 runs under Windows 98SE and it would be a good addition to the products you are running.
There are two problems that you may encounter depending what features of Spybot you use:
There are two problems that you may encounter depending what features of Spybot you use:
- There is a bug in the way Spybot 1.4 is counting immunization. On Windows 98, 98SE and ME systems you get six (6) items that show as un-immunized. If you get the following message on a Windows 98SE system when using Spybot's immunization facility, it is normal although not correct:
- Warning
3604 bad products already blocked, 6 additional protections possible. Please immunize.
OK
- Warning
- If you intend on using TeaTimer, be aware that there is currently a bug in the GUI of 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:- Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:

- Solution to fix the pop-ups in TeaTimer
- Disable TeaTimer as follows:
- Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
- Uncheck the following:
- Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
********************
Notes about the patches (b. and c. above):- If you installed Spybot in the default location:
- C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Note# 1: To the right of the Target File (TeaTimer.exe) there is a button that looks like "[ . . . ]". Click on that button, navigate to the correct folder, click "Open" and then "Start".
