Script Blocking Misbehavior

I have a simple bat file which starts a Tomcat server.

After installing the MS AntiSpyware beta I get a small
window which pops up on the bottom right side of my
screen and then moves quickly up and off the top.

It says something about "An unknown script file ..." and
has approve and block buttons. However it moves too fast
to click anything.

How do I report this kind of bug. Most annoying.

I am running windows XP, SP 2 and the most up-to-date
version of the beta.

Sounds like the behavior already known as a bug for the popup alert
window when you are using a non-horizontal Windows taskbar (i.e., your
taskbar is vertical on the left or right side of the screen). It's a
bug and needs to be fixed in the next beta version.
 
The bug with vertical toolbars is already well reported.

You should be aware of an additional bug however: On the first run of a
given script--i.e. when you successfully respond yes to that prompt--the
default directory context for the script will be %system32%. This can have
nasty consequences if the script is not very carefully written, and does
things like delete .dll files, for example.

This one is also known, but not yet fixed.
