Hi.

I have spybot running live and EVERY time I start my computer, I get spybot telling me some Registry has been changed and do I want to allow or disallow....this is EVERY single time....it usually goes from:

c:/whatever here

to

"C:/WHATEVERHERE"

I am sick of this and never know if I need to allow or not....I don't see why it would do that (my computer scans clean).

Any ideas??

Kelly :thumbsup:

Is it Spybot, or TeaTimer?
If it's Spybot, you don't need Spybot to run at system startup.
It can be run as an "on demand" application.
Mouse over the icon in the taskbar, if it reads Spybot-S&D Resident, then it's Teatimer.

Could you give the exact names of the changes that are wanting to be changed.
It's hard to help you with a decision without that information

Hi.

It is Teatimer then. (It shows in my tray as you mention above).

So, should I just hit always "not" allow or allow? I don't know why it keeps showing these changes "c:/" to "C:/" and vice versa...very odd to me.

Thanks :-) :thumbsup:
