However, this is one of the application areas I am presently running comparison tests in, so at the moment I can't really provide much more. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com _________ |

SPYWARE (FREE DOWNLOAD)
Margie,
On 13 Feb 08, I downloaded SpyBot 1.5.1.12 with latest detection update 2/13/2008 to my Windows 98 SE and it seems to work fine. The day before I had downloaded update 2/06/2008, ran it and removed a lot of "stuff" I didn't want. This seems to be their web site: http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html . My son put SpyBot on my computer a few years ago and I just 'update' it without plugging in their web site to get the updates; however, I just went to their web site to get the info for you. Here is the web site of a columnist (Betty Champagne) who offers free advice and refers us to many 'free" programs http://www.bitsnpcs.info Good luck! Yankee "margie" wrote in message ...

I am not sure how much longer that they will provide updates for it, I would check here periodocally for updates. You need to unzip them and etract them into the AdAware directoty where they will replace the older definitions. http://www.lavasoft.com/support/securitycenter/blog/ Look on the right side of this page. |

Took AdAware off my Win98SE computer, went to Spyware Terminator which continues to support 98SE. Unlike AdAware which usually updates about once per week, Spyware Terminator seems to update daily, Mon-Fri. As a non-techie, just my experience, Spyware Terminator works great for me along with Spyware Blaster, Avast (sometimes updates twice per day), Sygate Personal Firewall, rarely see any invasive malware on my computer. |

Thanks for the manual download link, after automatic downloading stopped
working I had given up using the product. Simpler fix to get more legs out of my product.

I got this link for the posters, but what I do is check these 2 sites daily for updates and then use their download link or open the program when I know it has an update. These sies post lots of other programs that have updates as well so I can find it all in one place and know what needs updating. The dozleng one is particularly good. http://www.majorgeeks.com/ http://www.dozleng.com/updates/index.php?act=calendar |
