misidentified threat and incorrect UI message

[Brian Knittel]

I've found an incorrect threat identification, and some user interface
errors -- is this the place to report them?

1. Vncclient.exe is misidentified as a threat. The VNC server might be a
considered a threat
but the client is definitely not.

2. When all identified threats are marked "ignore" or "ignore always," after
clicking OK.
MSAS displays the message "Spyware Cleaning Completed. Microsoft
Antispyware has removed
items from your computer." This is incorrect and disturbing.

3. After marking applications "ignore always", they are still counted as
threats in the
result count after every scan. The user has to keep track of the number
of ignored threats
in order to tell if a new one has been identified. I'd recommend that
"ignore always" threats
not be included in the count popup every day.

Thanks--this is the place to report these. You might make a note to recheck
these when beta2 is released in the next two months.
