My security suite has expired and the issue I have is that new versions I
have seen do not include WME. I suspect some may work but would rather have input of your experiences. Please respond with which packages you have working under WME. Thanks, Norman |

Thanks, Norman Avast! will work with Win Me: http://avast.com/eng/system-requirem...vast-home.html Get the free Home version he http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html What I like about Avast is that it updates automatically and can do a boot virus scan before Windows loads.

Hello:
In addition to the Avast! Home Edition, the current AVG Free Edition v7.5 also works with Win ME. See: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download...virus/us/frt/0 . Also, Zone Alarm states on their web site that ZA states that "Pre-6.5 products will continue to run on the Windows 98/98SE/Me operating system." And, as far as I can tell, no new functionality was added to the *Free Edition* versions of ZA after v6.1. The new features all seemed to be added to the Pro Edition of ZA. The last build of version 6.1 of ZA Free can be downloaded at: http://filehippo.com/download_zonealarm_free/?907 . This page states that it requires Win 2000 or higher, but as I said, ZA itself says that pre-v6.1 will work with Win ME. HTH, O.J. "Norman" wrote in message ...

Hello:
Also note that BitDefender Free Edition v10 also runs on Win 98/ME, although it does *not* have a real-time on-access scanner, just an on-demand scanner. But it could make a good 2nd anti-virus for doing disk scans as a 2nd opinion. See: http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-1...e-Edition.html . For spyware, Spybot S&D still runs on Win 9x/ME ( http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html ), Ad-Aware Personal 1.06r1 is still available from FileHippo ( http://filehippo.com/download_ad-aware/?2466 ), SUPERAntiSpyware runs on Win 9x/ME ( http://www.superantispyware.com/supp...lay.html?faq=6 ). But please note that these products (at least the free editions) also lack real-time scanning. HTH, O.J. "Norman" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the info. I'm comfortable with AVG and ZA, but must have gotten
confused as to what would work with WME. Do I need 6.1 or something pre-6.1? Norman "O.J. Newman" wrote in message ... Hello: In addition to the Avast!

I run SpyBot and AdAware.
I had used AVGfree in the past and sure it had limitations as well. I used ZA 5.5 and the version that came in CA security suite. Unfortunately they have dropped WME support and believe they started using Tiny as the firewall. Probably played with it years ago as well, but like the self configuration available in ZA. I'll check and see what the free edition does. Norman "O.J. Newman" wrote in message ...

Hello:
Sorry for the confusion! I wrote pre-v6.1 when I should have written pre-v6.5. Zone Alarm Free Edition v6.1, specifically v.6.1.744.1 is the last that ZA says will work with Win 98/ME. You can download it at: http://filehippo.com/download_zonealarm_free/?907 , even thought File Hippo says that the minimum requirement is Win 2000. HTH, O.J. "Norman" wrote in message ...

Please respond with which packages you have working under WME. Thanks, Norman I use AVG Free for anti-virus, outpost for the firewall and spybot for spyware. I've used many different security programs and these are the three that I feel confident using and don't feel any need whatsoever to use any others in combination with them. Best of all they don't cost anything, they are lighweight and simple to use. However here is some I found that are basically free after rebate: http://www.freeafterrebate.info/deal...uter-software/ |
