Popup Messages Need a Close [X] option

[Lester W.]

Those pop-up boxes, in particular the "accepted" install with the green
banner need a way to close them faster than waiting for them to time out.
Please provide a [X] / Close button so I can close them faster. Thanks.

Hi Lester,
It's been reported that the program can be a bit chatty at times. If the
box clears too fast, some will be unhappy; if they are too slow, come will
be unhappy.

Might be best to just enable the ability to click the message and have it
close (a la XP)...

There ought to be a setting where these notices can be
inhibited. The close button is a fine idea, but it's like a
popup. Why do I need to hear about it? There should be a
log you can go to & see what the software's been doing in
the background. When I'm browsing, those orange MSAS Notice
boxes are almost constant and usually repititious. I called
the toll-free number and, of course, there's no support for
a beta release.
Otherwise, the software's done a really good job of
(almost) ridding my PC of spyware.

I agree. I have set my copy to do a scan every night.
What do I care... I'm not using my PC at 2am. But EVERY
morning I awake to see a Popup telling me the scan ran...
and found nothing. OK... that is good news of sorts...
but the ONLY time I want a notification is IF it DID find
a problem. The rest of the time it should just hum along
in the background.

If you are getting constant repetitious alerts, this probably means
something is wrong--you've got spyware in place, or a trojan. I've got this
running on several dozen office machines, and have yet to hear from any of
the users except to mention that they notice when the definitions update.

I think it is a good idea to only notify you in a results
window on an automatic scan when something is actually
found. Usually nothing is found on my system so why
bother notifying me on those times.

Perhaps having a shield icon of orange, blue, or whatever
color specified by the user to display at the systray to
notify that something is requesting attention. When the
user wants to actually take a peek at those warnings then
they could. (If the computer is shutdown by the user then
there would be a warning telling that there are warnings
to look at for the Anti-Spyware tool before shutdown).

This is sort of like the flashing icon that Ad-Aware's Ad-
watch tool does to notify about something being blocked.
To make that whole idea better there should be a way to
click on an icon at the systray to find out what that
block was and giving the option to still allow/block it
if the user wants to.

The green warnings that popup and disappear (such as
Realplayer/Quicktime stating that they were allowed)
should have an option to not allow. I know that
Quicktime has the option to specify not to load with
Windows but surely there are some programs out there that
may not have the option or are just hard to locate.

I don't think I've seen one of the orange warnings before
so I am not sure what they stand for.
