AVAST! Version 4.8 home Edition Edition - Free Antivirus

Yep. That's the one I continue to use. It's main peccadillo is that

.................................................. ......................
its
it is tough to use Explorer or the Toolbar until the update of virus
definitions is completed. But everything is fine after that! That
v.4.8.1368 is fairly recent -- so I question whether they really will
ever abandon us lowly Win98 users after all!


Thought I had lost it couple of days ago, fired up the Win98 PC and
"Update Avast" only to be refused as the registration had expired.
Renewed the "Free Reg." for another year with no problems :-)


Very good. I see my updates expiration is set for 1/1/2011 -- the date
some say it all ends us!

Beyond that, if you install the old 4.7, you may not receive the last
of the updates for AVAST as these are now created for the 4.8 version.
You would also receive notice of the outdated version and it would
attempt to update itself to 4.8 anyway.
