Thank you for your reply and your explantion. It gives
me considerably more answers than the cast out by Mr.
Urban, MVP. As for Microsoft not being responsible for
the replies and Beta versions I understand that
completely. However when someone replies with the MVP
designation they have identified themselves as a
Microsoft representative. I would expect that person to
act according to Microsoft's philosophy on customer
service and/or relations.
MVP's are independent of Microsoft--and proud of that. The MVP recognition
is based on past performance--
MVP's are expected to maintain a professional demeanour in the groups, but
not necessarily to support Microsoft or be positive about all aspects of the
company or its products.
(and I should confess to also being a moderately long term MVP myself!)
MVP's are volunteers, in the end--and like everyone else we have good days
and bad days.
The answer to your question is no. I do not get the
option of "block or allow".
As to whether or not it is damaged I don't know. I don't
get page errors since it doesn't. I do get abrupt
closures of IE but since browseui.dll doesn't load I'm
not what the relationship is, if any.
At this point I think I will disable or remove Microsoft
AntiSpyware completely, since I cannot get a definitive
answer as to whether or not this is a legitimate block or
not.
If you are in any way uncomfortable about the beta--that's the appropriate
action to take.
I'm sorry I can't give you a clear answer--all that I know is that I've seen
what I believe to be the same message you are seeing, and investigated it at
the time, and believe that it was not due to any malware, but perhaps a bug
in the beta product.
Beta2 will be out before the end of the year--keep an eye out for publicity
about that--it should resolve a great many issues we are seeing now.
