Hello clweb




Doing "tests" with a product knowing it's an very early beta


isn't so clever. Like the note from Chachazz tells everyone "...apparently does not pass all **firewall tests just yet". IMHO tests of early betas or late alphas is simple waste of time. That way, it's easy to test and knowing about the resukt with that lacks.

We can watch this firwall in it's development for timebeing.

Ashampoo FireWall (1.01, 09/01/2006) - don't find any changelog on their site.

Found this on another site:
"Version 1.01 hides the own EXE in the taskmanager to prevent unwanted stopping of the program (Stealth)."
