I use W98SE. I tried an earlier version of Clamwin. It ran once, worked OK. It
never would open again.

Do you use the same OS and any data on this, is it better now?

TIA

Sorry, I don't have experience with Clamwin on win 98 se, the website
states it supports win 98, that's all I know.
My suggestion would be to try it again and be happy or disappointed.

Mike;

If you're considering trying clamwin again, post at their forum. They
seem pretty responsive. http://forums.clamwin.com/

Running it here on Win 98SE as a back-up virus scanner.
Except my version is about 2 weeks old.
No problems whatsoever.

I use Sysinternals' AutoRuns - shame there isn't a config option but then I
can't say I've helped by not suggesting it to them. ;-)
