I just installed it, it adds 2 more options to the Control Panel.

Scan Protection and Buffer Overflow Protection

Both of which have Parameter Settings. I have enabled them both to email me
when it does what it's supposed to do.

So far, assuming it works as it's supposed to, it sounds like a great
addition to the RaQ4.
