Antivirus for Windows ME and 98?

Microsoft no longer supports these two O/S, and I鈥檝e noticed that upcoming antivirus software doesn鈥檛 seem to include them either. Does anybody out these have either of these older O/S, and what do you plan on doing for an antivirus, and spyware for that matter?



I was advised to check on freeware at Grisoft but found that they are only supporting these two for a short while longer; same with Avast. I鈥檝e got ME on one computer; it鈥檚 obviously old but functions well and I had no reason to replace this unit. Thought of upgrading it to XP but have read some nasty stories about the problems that folks have had in that endeavor, and it also seems as if the simple XP upgrade isn鈥檛 available; it鈥檚 XP with a service pack, which will only go on top of a system already loaded with XP.



I don鈥檛 understand why protection would no longer be offered to these two, even though they鈥檙e old, since it鈥檚 to no one鈥檚 advantage to have unprotected computers online picking up viruses and passing them on.

both avg and avast software will work, but its true, the updates will stop for your systems soon. xp with sp2 is pretty stable now, and you can buy the disk with sp2. if your cpu and other hardware will suport it. i have xp on a old lappy, cpu is 650mh and ram is 384, runs slow but runs good.

It's time to buy a new PC!



Unless you have a computer running specialist software that requires Windows 98 you might as well buy a used PC running Windows XP. For 拢50/$100 you can buy a perfectly good PC with something like an AMD or Pentium 4 2.6 Ghz processor which is bound to be a lot faster than what you are using now.
