Even with an always on DSL connnection, the program opens
the dialer. I did go to properties in that dialog and
checked never dial a connection. Check the box for your
permanent connection. The updater then found the updates
and new definitiions.
This option should be included in the setup options. It's
also interesting that a bug reporter was not included with
the beta. My sys tray fills with the program icons whuch
are removed just by placing the mouse cursor over them.
