Windows 98SE

[Foneteck]

I have used Giant Spyware for a long time, as far as I'm
concerned the program is better than anything out there!
This program found more spyware than any other program I
have used, BUT now there is a problem. I use Windows 98SE
as do millions of others out there. Before Microsoft took
over Giant, the program could be used on SE. Now if you
read the requirements 98SE is not listed. My question,
will the new Beta work on SE or not? If not, why did
Microsoft make it uncompatible with SE? Microsoft has to
realize that not everyone out there can afford to run XP,
a lot of us have older machines and can't afford to buy a
newer one or afford the upgrade to XP or our older
computers can't handle XP (my problem). Oh well back to
the drawing board, guess I will have to put up with Norton
for the time being. I have Adaware SE,Spybot,Norton
Antivirus,Spyware Blaster and Webroot Spysweeper on my
machine, on certain occasions all of them would say that I
didn't have anything on my machine, but I knew I had
something the way my machine was acting. I would run the
Giant software and sure enough it would find the problem,
fix it, good to go. Guess one of the above companies will
have to put their thinking caps back on.

Hi Foneteck,

< My question, will the new Beta work on SE or not? >

Nope. W2K and above only.

Upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 2, Home Edition is $89 on amazon, you can
probably get it cheaper on e-bay.

Thanks for the suggestions but my machine will not upgrade
to Windows XP, well it will but will run so slow why
bother? My running speed is 500Mhz with 256 mem (which is
the max the machine will take) Until I can afford a new
machine, I'm stuck with 98SE.

Not true. I ran XP Pro on a 500 with 256 for quite a while and although not
super fast it does an adequate job. You'll find that XP manages system
resources very well.
