History
Agax is very loosely based on Antigax, my first antivirus program, which dealt with only one virus
('Graphics Accelerator', or 'Sevendust E'). When another virus came along, I decided the program needed
a bit of a revamp interface-wise and expandability-wise. After much work over Christmas I finally got
Agax to the state you see it in today (the interface always seems to be 90% of the work!).
