Bug. [update]

[chamb]

If you go to Advanced Tools>System Explorers>IE Settings
you can see a small textbox at the bottom (left). It
says "txtFocus" and should be invisible.

Edit: This only happens in maximized window mode.

Yes I also see this bug!

Thanks for the reports. Indeed, this window is supposed to be not visible.

the new version of microsoft antispywareb beta 1 doesn't
have this bug.

Same with Tools->Advanced Tools->Advanced File Analyzer

Whos doing the testing at Microsoft?

 

[Bill Sanderson]

You are doing the testing at the same time as a team within Microsoft.

This beta involves technology purchased three weeks before the beta began.
The public beta is enabling millions of users to get their machines cleaned
up--and it is also enabling a few users to find bugs such as this one.
Thanks for the report!

This programm is the best anti-spyware tool I've ever seen,
I didn't want to say something against it.

 

[Bill Sanderson]

I saw the smiley! Bug reports are one thing these groups are for--thanks!

Bill, It's interesting that I don't see it in IE settings
but do see it in Advanced File Analyzer. Weird but that's
MS.

 

[Bill Sanderson]

I think it is probably VB6, but one could argue that that's MS as well!

 

[Jacques]

And that it could have be included in optional part of Windows Update ?

 

[Bill Sanderson]

I'm lost! What?

There is are VB6 service packs which seem to be fixing some issues with this
app for some folks--probably by ensuring that the set of runtime files on
their systems are consistent in versions--is that what you meant?

 

[Jacques]

My suggest (out of topic?) is that VB6-SP seems to be wide enought to be
included in the WinUpdate as it's impact is far more than Anti-Spy and can
solve a lot of problems in other apps.

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Well - it's clear to me that this SP is solving some problems with the
Microsoft Antispyware beta. I've no idea why such a thing isn't seen on
Windows Update--but I know some places to ask the question--and I'll do
that.

Good thought!
