There's a strange "bug" in the program for setting Automatic Scans

Whenever you set an Automatic Scan of any kind for the time of 10:00 a.m., it
shows up on the Start Scan page as being set for 112:00 a.m.! If you use
any other time of day, that other time will show up correctly on the Start
Scan page, but 10:00 a.m. ALWAYS comes up as 112:00 a.m. I contacted
Microsoft PC Safety via telephone about this strange "bug", and when they
tried a test Automatic Scan on their system for 10:00 a.m., it came up as
112:00 a.m for them, too! Because of this relatively insignificant but
strange lttle bug, I've removed Windows AntiSpyware from my computer, fearing
that this little problem might be just the tip of an AntiSpyware "bug
iceberg" (besides, I generally tend to stay away from Beta releases of
anything). Unless someone can help me on this, I guess I'll just wait until
AntiSpyware comes out of Beta before downloading it again. Thanks in advance
for any help or advice I might get!
 
MarshallO - this bug has been in the beta1 program since day 1--nearly a
year ago.

It is entirely harmless-the scan does take place at 10:00 AM.

There are other much worse bugs in the program, but I won't detail them
because I don't believe that any of them should prevent most users from
installing and using this program every day, as I have on 3 dozen or so
machines, without incident, and with much good effect in a few cases.

Beta2 will be out soon, and will not have this particular appearance bug in
it, so you might want to wait for that release, if you want to play it safe.
 
Thanks, Bill!
