Hey Figgs,

What I say - these days - is give up on free AV for 9x. Go for the
best deal on a quality paid option. For instance, NOD32. I got a 2
year license for 3 machines and they don't have to be at the same
location. So three users can get NOD32 for two years for not so very
much, particularly if split three ways. IIRC they do three year deals
also. And v2.7 - that even runs on Win 95 still - remains available. I
daresay other companies have vaguely similar deals.

Of course, for those afraid they could die after only getting one
year's use out of it, it is a dilemma!

But it gets to the point where if there are no circumstances in which
a user will consider paying for AV software, they might as well not
use any and I figure that time is just about reached with Win Me.

Hi HD......glad to see you found the spot. And also glad you have

munged your address. These folks should be able to advise you.
Personally, I would keep the version of Avast that you have and let
it
update the definitions. But I will see what the rest say.

I need a new free anti-virus program to work with my beloved WinMe,
and Rising Anti-virus Free and Avast seem to be the only ones
around.
Avast stops support for WinMe at the end of this year, leaving
Rising
as my best bet. Anyone with experience with Rising Free? Good? Bad?
