Sorry I thought I was pretty clear.
1. In answer to this one. The scanner dialog always appears as referenced in my earlier post. Where I said Scanner dialog appears.....It disappears where I said Scanner dialog disappears. I meant the Quick Scanner window.
2. I missed where this was asked, but yes it will find the eicar test virus file, but it still displays the error message. I purposely used a renamed to txt version of this that I keep, because for security reasons of the past this isn't allowed on my network in com or exe form.
Its mostly an annoyance almost like a problem with the exit code path. It wouldn't even be an issue to me if i didn't have to click OK at the end of the scans.
