Antispyware, virus protection and other alike programs

SUPERAntiSpyware does not support Windows 98/ME anymore either in regards to program updates; only definitions. Are there any types of these applications remaining FULLY compatible for Windows ME? I have found a lot of neat toys require Windows XP, or later. I help a couple of people to keep Windows ME computers running, and it is getting ever harder to do it, for lack of decent, current tools. I expect it will be the same with Windows XP after six years pass. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

XP will be supported for another 5 years yet - so it'll be at least 2017 before things get as bad for it as they are for Win9x now By that time we'll probably be on Windows Galactica (or Win 11) -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk |

Antispyware, virus protection and other alike programs
Hello:
I'm a bit confused. I went to the SUPERAntiSpyware web site and it looked to me as if Win 98/ME were still supported. The SUPERAntiSpyware product information page reads: "Systems Requirements: Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 2003" (See: http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispyware.html .) The SUPERAntiSpyware page at Download.com reads: "Operating system: Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98" "Date added: September 03, 2009" (See: http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSp...html?tag=mncol ..) Where did you find that SUPERAntiSpyware for Win 98/ME were no longer supported? Thanks, Jerry "SGB" 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 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. Go figure... "webster72n" wrote in message ... I couldn't find nothing either and Avast will also NOT be discontinued. Got it 'right from the horses mouth'. Harry. |

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.
