Microsoft AntiSpyWare (Beta)

[Lucian Jackson]

Will this antispyware ever be available for download for
OS Microsoft M/E

 

[Steve Dodson [MSFT]]

I would say that if it is not being tested now during the beta, it is very
unlikely to be released for that platform in the future. Mainstream support
on Windows ME ended in 2003, all support ends in 2006. This is not to say
that when we RTM this will 100% not be available, but if the testing is
going into other OS version's its a big clue.

Hi Lucian,
May I suggest going to http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/default.mspx
for best practices. Be sure to watch the video!
There are other freeware/shareware scanners out there that will work on
Win98 & ME
systems. Thinking Spybot and Adaware just to name two.
