    Alternative to Spybot Tea Timer (still has bug?)

    Assuming that Spybot's Tea Timer in v1.4 still has the allow/deny option
    bug, is there a better free alternative?

    Is WinPatrol a good alternative?

    How about the Mike Lin programs:

    I see that Diamondcs.com has some good looking utilities up there.

    One thing though. SiteAdvisor shows quite a few adjustments made to the
    registry and a few system32 files added with this program (though they give
    it a 0 nuisance score):

    I'm old school I guess, I didn't install it.

    It's a stand alone program, I put all the file in a direct roy, ran
    regprot.exe, it checked and asked about the current settings, then
    made a CFG file it works from - put a short-cut to regprot.exe in a
    startup directory so it checks settings on startup.

    No registry entries, and only 4 files.

    What I don't like about it is the CFG file is encrypted, so I can't
    edit it myself.

    Sorry. I posted the Siteadvisor link to their Process Guard program.

    The Regprotect comments look pretty good:

    No registry changes.

    See my next thread. Spybot S&D issued a beta update that fixes the
    problem.

    I found Tea-Timer to be quite buggy, so I turned it off. I've been
    using the free version of WinPatrol and am very happy with it.

    There is a fix for the option window in Teatimer. I have no buggy problems
    with it. I also use Diamonds RegProt, as noted by another person in this
    thread. I also use Winpatrol. I use all three programs running in the
    background.

    I haven't used Tea-Timer in a while, but one thing that annoyed me is
    that the program would repeatedly tell me the same messages over and over
    again. For example, if I changed the IE home page, Tea-Timer would warn me
    about this. I would click OK to allow the change. The next time I
    restarted my PC, Tea-Timer would again warn me about the new IE homepage,
    even though I had already approved this change.
