Beta spyware not available for Millennium

[charlieq]

I have installed the Beta program on my Windows 2000
computer and am very happy with it. It cought a few spys
when first run but has not seen any new ones.

I attempted to install on my laptop which uses Wimdows
Millennium. The program does not work on this computer. I
downloaded a test product from another source and it
indicates there a a few spys in the laptop. In order to
eliminate them I would have to buy the other program which
is not what I want to do at this time as I am very
interested in the MS Beta program.

Do you all have any ideas on cleaning my laptop or are the
Beta programmers going to include Windows 98 and
Millennium in a later version.

Sincerely, Charlieq

The MSAntiSpyware will only be available for Windows 2000, XP, 2003, maybe
Longhorn. For Windows 9x/NT use following software:
