Oh look, just found this:

MSDN said...

Remarks
If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WM_GETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control. If the target window is owned by another process and has a caption, GetWindowText retrieves the window caption text. If the window does not have a caption, the return value is a null string. This behavior is by design. It allows applications to call GetWindowText without becoming unresponsive if the process that owns the target window is not responding. However, if the target window is not responding and it belongs to the calling application, GetWindowText will cause the calling application to become unresponsive.

To retrieve the text of a control in another process, send a WM_GETTEXT message directly instead of calling GetWindowText.

The last line does however rather seem to contradict the bit that I emboldened...

Anyway, that could be the next thing to try... but let's run that modifed #8 first.
(I assume that if some nasty PUP is running on your system, you want shot, right?)
