Yes that was my understanding as to why it was beta. I hadn't apprecaited it
had been beta for quite so long. Shame.
Yes, I use AVG at home, but I was looking at low cost options for some of
the pcs we use infrequently in the office. Its looking like we'll have to
continue with McAfee for a few more years yet.
Thanks.
