Security Alert Window Will Not Close

Beta 1 seems to accept the "allow" option after alerting
for a particular script. However, clicking on the "allow"
option produces another duplicate alert window. Each
time "allow" is clicked in each window, another window is
produced. I have had ten of these windows on my desktop
at one time and could have produced an infinite number, I
suppose, if my system could handle it.

It is impossible to close ANY of them without going to
Windows Task Mgr and deleting the alert in Processes. I
could turn off all script alerting, but I don't want to do
that.

Thj previous version did not interfere or flag the script
file that runs this DOS game. I use Windows XP, SP2.
 
From Bill Sanderson:
I'm not sure whether there's a bug in Microsoft Antispyware not remembering
your preference--not a fair test--you bombed out in the middle! There are
reports here of individual installs which fail to remember various user
choices/preferences, though.

I don't know what to think about the looping behavior. Can you simplify the
batch file down to one command or so, and see whether you can get that
accepted and remembered as good?
 
Thank you for your reply, but simplifying a program's batch
file is way beyond my expertise.
 
I think if I were you, I'd turn off Microsoft Antispyware via the system
tray/notification area icon, get the game started, and then turn it back on
again. Or maybe just wait until after the game is done to turn it back on.

This is extremely awkward--so I hope that beta2 will bring some relief--and
hope you'll be able to test this and let us know when that version becomes
available for download.
