It's still functional, and I'm going to use it, but it's still in Alpha stage testing, which means it hasn't even reached Beta. This means it could potentially be unstable, have glitches, or just screw up sometimes for no apparent reason. That said, it might be worth an investigation.	agent (30)
116050	2003-01-23 00:35:00	Asked a couple of questions Their reply thanks for your interests af GAV. I'll answer your questions 1. What is Alpha Phase ? If a program is under development it has to pass several steps until it can be sold. An alpha phase is when a program can be used but does not have all features like the endproduct. All these other features are added step by step. Between each step users are testing it giving hints and advices to the programmer(s)what must be fixed. If this is ll done the program moves from alpha to beta and now it must be tested under normal conditions. 2. Does your program check incomming/outgoing E-Mail messages/attachments ? Sorry, currently it does not. But later it may have one (or more) modul(s). We'll think about it. I think I will keep to AVG till they have it sorted.	teddybear (2443)
