Default Small spelling mistake in popup box


Hi everyone from MS, whilst I was installing an
application the firewall popped up to inform me that
either an Active X or Javascript was 'attampting' to
install... swap the second a for an e.
Great product though

Yes, some activex and javascript code can be malicious.

pointing out!

See the subject line.
He's reporting the *SPELLING* of 'attempting' is wrong, NOT reporting false
positives in Active X or javascript....

Andre

While you are at it could you please get Microsoft to fix the spelling
errors in Word 2003 as well, for an English product to spell colour
incorrectly is very bad.

You lost me regarding the comment about kerb, mind you it is 3 am here.

Locale set correctly - English (UK)

Back to business - site XP computer with beta on running ok, the only thing
I forgot was to turn off the notification box that is displayed after a
scan.

The computer I have installed the product on is one that is used moderately
i.e on average will get 50 different people using it per day. If it runs ok
for a few days I will likely install the product on one of the heavier used
computers. Will keep you updated.

You may find that turning that notification box off is also buggy. I've not
tried it myself, but others have found that those checkboxes do not have the
effects that they expect.

(on this side of the pond it is "curb"--however, it probably isn't a word
used anywhere in Word's help or user interface, so it was a poor joke!)
