The following answer is a couple of years old, but if it still
works-- or if some reasonably obvious variation works-- you're
better off preventing moire at the source than correcting it
instance by instance.

The moire patterns are caused because the Windows standard screen
setting uses 3D objects for the scroll bars instead of a solid color.
To solve the scrollbar moire problem, change your Windows color scheme.
(It doesn't matter what screen capture/graphics program you use.)
Here are the steps:

Step 1 Exit the application for which you want to create screen
captures.

Step 2 Choose Display icon from the Control Panel.

Step 3 Choose the Appearance tab.

Step 4 Select High Contrast White from the Scheme drop-down list box.

Step 5 Select 3D Objects from the Item drop-down list box.

Step 6 Select the lighter shade of gray from the color drop-down
palette to the right of the Item list box.

Step 7 Change the other screen objects as appropriate to make them look
like the Windows standard settings.

Step 8 Choose the Save As button to display the Save Scheme dialog box.

Step 9 Type a name for the new color scheme, then choose OK to return
to the Display Properties dialog box.

Step 10 Choose OK.

Step 11 Restart the application for which you want to take screen
captures and verify that the new color scheme is in effect.
You may need to reboot in order for the color scheme to fully
take effect.

Hope this helps,
Jed
