I don’t know if I am writing to the correct newsgroup, but I am using
Windows ME, Firefox, Outlook Express and AT&T (DSL) Yahoo mail. I am
looking for a free copy of an e-mail antivirus software program. I have
located AVG Free Edition and Avast! Home Edition. Also I found Inbox and
Spamdel. Can anyone recommend one of these programs? Also, is there any
other free anti-virus software you could recommend?

Thanks,
Al

I highly recommend Avast.


And I can vouch for that.

AVAST -
http://www.avast.com/i_idt_1016.html - FREE

AntiVir -
http://www.free-av.com/ - FREE

AVG -
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 - FREE

CA eTrust -

Of the completely FREE versions, AntiVir is best for WinME.

I second David's recommendation of AntiVir for a WinME system. If you
choose to use it, be sure to get the correct version (i.e. the one for 9X
systems).

Also be sure to have only one AV loading at boot actively scanning your
system. You can have more than one installed but only use one for active
protection otherwise neither will properly protect your system.

Good Luck!
