Hi

Don't know where to report bugs but I found one regarding the date format.

If your machine is set to US Regional options but your short date format is
modified to dd/MM/yyyy then AntiSpyware fails to run complaining that the
software expired in on December 31st 1931...

If you change your short date format temporarily it will run and after the
first run you can set it back to dd/MM/yyyy.

This is correct, and reasonably frequently reported here, usually in the
form:

It's xx/yy/zz, and my spyware has expired!

In any locale, you must choose the topmost choice in the dropdown boxes to
be certain of correct functioning of the expiration date.

additionally, you can only schedule scans between noon and midnight if you
are using a 12 hour clock format at the time you do the scheduling.

Strange, true, and fixed in beta2.
(a new mantra!)
