Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.615
The program uses a fixed size box in which to select items to remove from
list.
However, the box isn't large enough to see what program is on the list and
the box cannot be maximized, therefore it is pretty much useless.
 
Don't blame MS for this one, nor almost every other problem with the UI.
This is a problem that's been around even before MS bought out Giant Company,
the maker of Giant AntiSpyware, which is now known as MSAS.

I'm not interested in blaming anyone. AllI want is to let MS know what needs
to be fixed in this beta version. I thought that is what beta versions were
for.
 
They know about the problems with the UI.

It wasn't designed by them, it was designed by Giant Company.

Totally overhauling the UI isn't a simple task, it requires many changes to
the source code. Since they released the beta version, which was really
Giant AntiSpyware with all references to Giant Company changed to Microsoft
Corp., only 21 days after acquiring it from Giant Company, they didn't have
the time to update the UI. Plus this type of change would have required them
to call the release Beta 2, not Beta 1 since Beta 1 had already been released
and this type of update usually warrants an increase in the version number,
not the build number.

We should see huge improvements to the UI and other areas when Beta 2 is
released later this year.

Looking forward to #2
