Can anyone recommend a good antispyware PROGRAM for Windows 98 users like me? Thank you. I have an Intel Pentium 166MHz w/MMX and use Windows 98. The only time I spend online is when I access email. At times, however, I do check out a few Web sites of interest. Can anyone recommend a good antispyware program for Windows 98 users like me? Thank you. I have a Win98SE computer. A little bit faster, at 350 MHz. Using Ad-Aware Personal here. It takes a minute to load - I can't say whether or not that is normal, I just don't know - and it seems to work ok. It has been some time since I INSTALLED it, but I think this is where you can get it: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php As far as how good it is for Win98 users - I suppose you mean in comparison to other anti-spyware programs? Can't say. Somebody else will probably be along shortly to offer opinion(s). My purpose in replying is just to let you know that it works. While we are on the topic of protection/prevention though, are you using anti-virus software? and keeping it up to date? For what it is worth, AVG works great here on the Win98SE machine. http://www.free.grisoft.com AVG also has free anti-spyware, and a link is on that page. It says it supports Win98 in their description there, but I also see: "* Some older operating systems such as Microsoft Windows ME, Microsoft Windows NT and Microsoft Windows 98 will only be supported until August 2008 as a minimum." I haven't tried it. Maybe somebody else will comment on it and/or compare it to Ad-Aware for you. CLEANUP Ccleaner (During install, uncheck the Yahoo Toolbar option) (After install, set Options>Advanced> 'Uncheck the 48 hour BOX') ANTI SPYWARE Adaware Spybot S&D ANTI VIRUS AVG Free (After install, set Options to 'scan all files') ANTI TROJAN Ewido for W2K & XP or A-squared a² for 98 & ME (Winall) |
