Date: Mon Apr 11 19:02:51 2005 From: mnv at alumni.princeton.edu (MN Vasquez) Subject: Oddness with the MS antispyware beta I don't know if this is programming technique is "common", but I've not seen it before. I'm running the MS antispyware beta 1 on Windows XP sp2. I hooked up a 2nd monitor to my laptop. I set the resolution to 1600x1200, and the monitor position in relation to the primary, is to the left. Align the bottom screens. You can use a different resolution, I imagine, if you offset the positions of the monitors. On the 2nd monitor I found a program window "hiding". Basically, in a very odd position -- on a typically non-displayed portion of the desktop, which I only found by configuring multiple monitors. It seems the programmers are "hiding" a window, which I have attached as a jpg. For those that don't want to open an attachment: there are 5 buttons: systrayhide, systrayshow, systraynormal, systrascanning, systrayupdating. The window title is gcasDtServHolder Clicking the buttons modifies the tooltip associated with the system tray icon. I can hide/show the systray icon. The status of the icon also changes from Active to Running when Normal is selected, and I then click either the Scanning or Updating button. Closing the window removes the system tray icon and apparently closes the program. I do not know if this possibly leads to a vulnerability or not.
