I just re-installed ver. 1.0.59 - and find that the
old screen text errors are still not being fixed, in this
later Beta.

My scheduled exection time is still displayed as
112:00AM, instead of 10:00AM. If I ente any other ime, it
still doesn't change. This is trivial, but seems that is
an easy correction.

Also, it is unnerving to see the message "DETECTED
SPYWARE ON THE SYSTEM", and then no spyware is found at
completion. New users might think this is a software bug -
but it isn't: it iss just a poor choice of words.
Wht this really means is that:
"The ANTISPYWARE PROGRAM or UTILITY HAS BEEN FOUND ON
THE SYSTEM"

I urge the devlopers to change their conflicting message
wording.

Other than that, love the program.

Steve,
I just noticed a difference in the splash that comes
up with ver. 509

The "scheduled run" pops up a small screen showing
progress and the phrase: "Items found ...etc."
This is better than the previous message of "Spyware
found ..", since that wording was misleading, at first
glance. However, could the new phrase be augmented with
a "running counter" following after "ITEMS FOUND"?
Presently, it looks like a warning to the user, that
indeed, at least ONE item was found. A counter value of
zero, would change the implication of the new message
style. In fact, it is misleading, in that if spyware is
found in a long run, the user will never know, due to
the absence of a counter. Or, does it display, only
after at least one spyware is discovered?

A running tally, on the time scheduled" run pop up,
would be most reassuring, since that TALLY is only
displayed on the splash screen, if a MSAS run is launched
manually, by the user. There really should be no
differnce in information screen data presentation,
between a manual, and a scheduled run.

I trust you see my point on this cosmetic GUI fix.

Joe
