I personally use TeaTimer. I would recommend using it provided that you understand the registry change portion of TeaTimer is not rule based and therefore asks you to decide all whether or not to allow or deny all changes to the registry keys it monitors. In other words you must decide if a registry change is good or bad and denying the wrong change you can adversely affect the stability, functionality and security of your system.
To activate TeaTimer:
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Check (if unchecked) the following item:
Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.
If you decide to activate TeaTimer, please note the following:
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:
Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:
If you use the following patch (b.) you have to navigate to the correct location (See Note #1) unless you execute the patch from within the "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy" folder:
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".
