No, the program will not run if it cannot check to see if there are available updates. We are trying to control what version people are using during the beta. The fact of the matter is any peice of software on your computer can do pretty much anything it wants too and it would be impossible for us to convince you otherwise on a forum. The best thing to look for would be credible members of this forum coming out in support of our software which has happend. If you are really worried about it doing something behind the scenes we recommend you wait until we have established more credibility.

Ok, then consider this a feature-request during the beta: If your app can't check to see if there's a new update, don't crash and close. Instead, run the version that worked yesterday.

I understand that I'm running your code on my system, and there's an inherent security risk in that. But stutting your app from the net eliminates a bit of the risk, and you're telling users they can't do that. It'd be cool if you didn't.

I'm really not trying to say you're untrustworthy. I expect it's fine. But you can't blame me if the "wait & see" school of security doesn't hold water. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Was the part in bold ever addressed by the developer? I'd like to try this program out, but I'm a little uneasy about it. A response to Sam's concern would be much appreciated.
