Being it is September 2008, what would be the best anti-virus
program/version for Windows ME?

Thanks in advance!

Check out Avast! at www.avast.com

Alias

AVG 7.5 is still running and regularly updating on my WinMe boxes, without
any nag screens. No sign though, for how much longer.

I have Avast! on my ME. Regular updates and its FREE. You do have to register
with website every year. Only detract is popup that lets you know it has
updated.

Avast... 2 out of 3. Will do.
Mart - I want to reinstall AVG, but I do not think it is a wise decision,
because they just do not care about us Windows MEers no more like so many
others. :-(
Anymore input is always welcome.
This group is great!

Thanks all. :-)

Whew!
Someone please send me send pain reliever for this A VAST headache. LOL
This program is so not easy for the organ within my cranium to understand.
I think I need new eyeglasses, too. I wore mine out straining through all
those options.
Still do not have the thing configured right I am thinking.
Oh, I need to stop thinking. It hurts to think.
Yikes!

SGB: configure it to your liking.
Your persistence will pay off in the end, you'll see.
In my book it's the best one for WinME. The pop-up is a good thing and the
yearly registration no bother either. It did disable auto System CheckPoints
for SR in my case, but I do them manually instead.
Once everything is in place, you will be pleased, I'm sure.
Best of luck,

Harry.

Don't quite follow your reasoning here. As I mentioned earlier my (Free) AVG
7.5 copies update themselves (latest definitions) every day (or at least
every day I fire my WinMe boxes up) and there are no warnings or pop-ups
that AVG is going to suspend their updates in the near future. Also their
'free' support remains, therefore I can't agree that "they just do not care
about us Windows MEers no more". So until - or unless - they do, I'm
sticking with AVG 7.5 Free.

AVG 8 is a different kettle of fish, though. Apart from it not being WinMe
compatible, it's somewhat bloated.

Does Avira AntiVir (free) work with ME? I don't have a spare ME box (not
even a VM image) these days to check.

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason
backwards. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a
very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the every-day affairs
of life it is more useful to reason forwards, and so
the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason
synthetically for one who can reason analytically." - Sherlock

Galen,

MSFN has a list of software that works for 98SE that is updated every two or
three months. As of August 31, 2008, Avira Antivir Personal Edition Classic
v. 7.06.00268 is the last that still works with 98SE and ME.

Version 8.1.0.331 released this year lists only 2000/XP/Vista as supported OS
