Oh, I read some of the logfile and although I'm not sure what most of it means, I noticed it says "Bubbles screen saver added" so many times. I think this is because I usually have the screensaver on all day but then in the evening I take it off (just so I can see my emails as they come in from the comfort of my couch!) and then before bed I put it back to screensaver again.

 

[Zenobia]

That's it,actually.Bubbles is blacklisted.Well,that's easy enough.
Please follow this page to open the Black & White list for Teatimer:
https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/how-do-i-edit-the-blacklist-whitelist-in-resident-teatimer/
I think bubbles would be a registry change,so click on Blocked Registry Changes.Look through for scrnsave.exe and/or Bubbles.scr,and please click the X to all of those,if there is more than one.Check Blocked Processes,too,just in case,and remove any instances of scrnsave.exe and/or Bubbles.scr,,say Yes to any prompts,then click OK.

Rightclick somewhere on your desktop,select Personalize,then go in and set Bubbles as your screensaver,then click Apply.If a box comes up asking you to Allow or Deny a change,and it says scrnsave.exe or anything about Bubbles.scr,then that is teatimer.You should Allow the change,and it would be best to make sure that Remember this decision is not checked.Please let me know how it goes.

I can't find this part "Resident icon in the system tray Spybot-SD Resident" to right click and choose Settings. When I opened Spybot the little icon for Resident is on the left hand pane but I can't right click on it. Am I even in the right spot?

 

[Zenobia]

Nope,you aren't.You don't need to open Spybot,there will be a little blue and white thing with a tiny padlock on it down by your computer clock.There's an image of it available here.

If not visible,then click the little arrow pointing upwards,as shown here,and then Teatimer should be in the upper little window above Customize:

Woooohoooo! It worked!!! Bubbles are back! Thank you so much!!!!! All done, you can now put "solved" on my original question. Thank you so much for helping me Zenobia! Love Spybot's customer service ) ) )

 

[Zenobia]

You're welcome,glad it worked.

Once you decide which version of Spybot you would like to keep,it might be best to uninstall the other one to avoid confusion.When/if you decide to do that,you can uninstall by going to Start,Control Panel,then clicking Uninstall a Program,and the versions of Spybot will be listed in there.

 

[gigglepot]

Thank you, I will do that. But is there anything major that I am missing out on if I just keep using Spybot 1.6.2? I just seem to like that version a lot better.

 

[Zenobia]

It's up to you.If you prefer Spybot 1.6.2,you can stick with that if you wish.
If you're curious about the newer Spybot,they're a couple years old,but there are some videos here:
