Greetings,

Pardon me for intruding, but I just wanted to post a tip for displaying the entries in Teatimer's log.

1) Open Spybot Search & Destroy;
2) Expand SS&D to fill your computer's screen;
3) From the menus, click Mode > Advanced Mode and choose Yes to the Warning pop-up;
4) On the left-hand side, click Tools > Resident.

This will show the log of allowed and denied entries.

Scroll down to see the most recent entries.

Tapping End will take you to the end of the line of whatever entry you're on. Home will take you to the start of the line.

Mark350, you should be able to locate which entry was blocked if you know the date/time it occurred.

Kindest regards,

Dragan Glas

Thanks... found the information.

You're welcome!

I think it's a case that since IE is the default browser, Microsoft is trying to encourage Mark350 to add MSN and Live Search to IE - preferably as default.

Once they're added as options only - not the default(s) - they should be alright.

Of course, there's no onus on Mark350 adding these at all.

Kindest regards,
