Antispyware, virus protection and other alike programs
This is the statement from the Avast website copied and pasted "Note: The
operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 will be supported until the end of 2009. " Hopefully they mean to rescind it. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics! "webster72n" wrote: "Jerry Martin" wrote in message ... Hello Harry: Where did you get this information? (I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that I'd like to see it also.) I contacted Avast Support directly via email and they assured me that it will Not be discontinued for neither Windows Vista nor ME and information to the contrary is false. Let me know if you need to see their answer, I will have to copy and paste it for you. Harry. I couldn't find any info or the thread in the vista.geberal group. Thanks, Jerry "webster72n" wrote in message ... In the vista.general group I was told otherwise that it will be continued and referring to the Avast website, which I didn't check out myself yet.

Windows ME went EOL a while back; no further development.

"Mike M" wrote in message ... That e-mail confirms the continued availability of Avast! Home (the free version) when Avast! 5 is launched. The e-mail does not address nor mention the continued availability of a version that can run on Win 9x systems such as Win Me. Here's the question I posed, Mike: Hello Support: The question came up whether the Free Home Edition of Avast is going to be terminated by year's end for Windows ME or Vista. I am running the program in both systems. Will you be so kind and clarify the situation? Most gratefully, Harry. -- Mike Maltby webster72n wrote: "Corday" wrote in message ...

Harry,
Surprising as it may appear I can actually read. Your question was not answered. The reply was for a different question, namely "Is Free Home Edition of Avast going to be terminated by year's end". A. It is not. Q. Is Win Me support to continue beyond 2009. Not answered. -- Mike Maltby webster72n wrote: Here's the question I posed, Mike: Hello Support: The question came up whether the Free Home Edition of Avast is going to be terminated by year's end for Windows ME or Vista.
