What part of “abort” don’t you understand?

I am a satisfied user of CounterSpy, the anti-malware program, but that won’t stop me from whining. When you click on the “Abort” button when it’s running a scan, you get a dialogue box that says “Please wait while ConterSpy is working…” with only one button on it: “OK.” If it were OK, I wouldn’t be trying to abort! It reminds me of an old short cartoon in which a character encounters a rope dangling from off screen. The rope has a sign that says “Do not pull.” After much hesitation, the character finally of course pulls the rope. Another sign appears: “Out of order.”
