Hmmm. Navigation to web page was cancelled in AE Help.

Im running with it anyway. I'll learn it on the fly. The reports have been good. Really I'm looking for something for clients because of obvious dangers from USB usage. I'll run the Beta and wait for official version. Then pass what I know on as part of my service.

oops couldn't download Beta because blocked by hostsfile

I edited my hostsfile and downloaded the AE Beta and now have it running.
I am going to re-inset the fileden entry. Do you think this will affect updating AE?

I reported the blocked site to hpHosts and I found out that fileden.com hosts some malware so I have reported this to Old MacDonald.

V2.4 is available on Softpedia:
