Message at toolbar unreadable because of it's speed

[Ron Meesters]

Hello.

Just for your information because your spyware tool still
is a beta version. Maybe this message can improve the
usability of the tool. I won't follow this newsgroup
because of lack of time but if you want to respond please
mail it to me also.

When you start some program which is monitored by the
spyware tool then some window comes up from the toolbar
signing that this program was detected and then the window
closes down. I have seen this at the PC's of some
colleagues.

I however don't use the standard horizontal toolbar.
I like to have my toolbar at the right side of the screen
to improve the oversight of active windows.

By me some ghost window runs up and down so fast, you can
read it, because it travels, along the vertical toolbar at
the right, from the bottom of the screen to the top of the
screen in the same time that it would when you'd have a
standard horizontal toolbar... ;-)

I personally don't care... but, to my opinion, it doesn't
look professional enough for a Microsoft program.

Maybe you'd consider to change this behaviour.

Kind Regards

Many people have reported this (including me ;-) ) and we expect it will be
fixed in Beta 2 release.

Here is a Way to Respond to the Off screen Pop-up alerts
First Download the Win XP Power Toy Task Switcher

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/
WXP/EN-US/TaskswitchPowertoySetup.exe

Install it.

Hold down ALT-TAB to open it up. and Keep ALT pressed.

With the New Task Switcher, you will now not only see a
List of Application Icons, but you will have a Sample
View of the Application Screen.

While Still Holding ALT down. Press TAB to cycle through
the List. You Will be able to Read the POP-up Message.

When you Let go of Alt-Tab, your Focus will be in that
Pop-up Screen, but you can't see it...

Now you can Press TAB to Cycle through the Options in the
POP-up Alert.

TAB Once - Cycles to the Remember this Check box - Press
Space bar to change it.
TAB Twice - Cycles to BLOCK - Press Enter to Select it.
TAB Three - Cycles to ALLOW - Press Enter to Select it.
TAB Four - Cycles to the Discription Tex - Use down arow
to move down. (Hitting ALT-TAB will allow you to Read the
New Text Position. When you let go, you will still be in
the Description text or TAB press Four.)
TAB Five - ??? Nothing
TAB Six - ??? Nothing
TAB Seven - Back at TAB One the Remember this Check Box.


Even though you can't See what you are doing. Your Focus
is placed inside the pop-up message off screen. Each TAB
press cycles through the all of the Options Buttons, and
pressing Enter Selects the Current Button option.


By Using the ALT-TAB power Toy, you can at least Read
what the Message is, and see your Options. Then it is
Just a Matter of Releasing ALT-TAB, and Pressing TAB to
cycle to the right Option button, and Press Enter to
Select it.

Hope That Explained it well enough, but once you have the
Toy loaded, and you get to try it... You'll see want I
mean..

Wow, I had 13 hidden pop-up that I had to respond to...

Also, If you Just want to close all the open POP-ups and
start from scratch.

You can do a CTRL-ALT-DELETE and bring up the TASK
Manager.

Under the Process tab you will see the list of all open
process.

Locate the ones named
gcsaServAlert.exe
Click on them and then Click on End Process.
This will close one of the Popup Alerts.
If you Have more than one open. You can look through the
list and close them all.
Make sure you only find the ones named
