AVG 7.5 is still running and regularly updating on my WinMe boxes, without
any nag screens. No sign though, for how much longer.

RE: Antivirus
I have Avast! on my ME. Regular updates and its FREE. You do have to register
with website every year. Only detract is popup that lets you know it has
updated.

Re: Antivirus
Avast... 2 out of 3. Will do.
Mart - I want to reinstall AVG, but I do not think it is a wise decision,
because they just do not care about us Windows MEers no more like so many
others. :-(
Anymore input is always welcome.
This group is great!
Thanks all.

Whew!
Someone please send me send pain reliever for this A VAST headache. LOL
This program is so not easy for the organ within my cranium to understand.
I think I need new eyeglasses, too. I wore mine out straining through all
those options.
Still do not have the thing configured right I am thinking.
Oh, I need to stop thinking. It hurts to think.
Yikes!

Re: Antivirus
SGB: configure it to your liking.
Your persistence will pay off in the end, you'll see.
In my book it's the best one for WinME. The pop-up is a good thing and the
yearly registration no bother either. It did disable auto System CheckPoints
for SR in my case, but I do them manually instead.
Once everything is in place, you will be pleased, I'm sure.
Best of luck,
Harry.

Don't quite follow your reasoning here. As I mentioned earlier my (Free) AVG
7.5 copies update themselves (latest definitions) every day (or at least
every day I fire my WinMe boxes up) and there are no warnings or pop-ups
that AVG is going to suspend their updates in the near future. Also their
'free' support remains, therefore I can't agree that "they just do not care
about us Windows MEers no more". So until - or unless - they do, I'm
sticking with AVG 7.5 Free.
AVG 8 is a different kettle of fish, though. Apart from it not being WinMe
compatible, it's somewhat bloated.

Crappy 'cause Avira's been ranking VERY high in the AV Comparatives for a
while now. High enough to the point where it is worth considering if/when
you can.

Sucked the life from my icons.

Uninstalled from my system.
Took many deep breathing exercises and many reboots to get my computer to

A VAST HEADACHE for little ol' me.

Re: Antivirus
OK, so that's not the problem. Try clearing the SR archive and rebuilding
the SR control files.
Disable SR using System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting and
check "Disable System Restore",
IMMEDIATELY Reboot
Enable SR using System | Performance | File System | Troubleshooting and
UNcheck "Disable System Restore",
Reboot
Is SR still enabled? Do you see a checkpoint?
Now carry out the following quick test:
1) Create a shortcut on your desktop to a file (any file).
2) Create a manual checkpoint
Could you create a checkpoint?
3) Delete the shortcut
4) Restore your PC to the checkpoint you created.
Was the shortcut restored? Did you see any error messages?
5) Reboot your PC
Was the checkpoint retained?

Is SR still enabled? Do you see a checkpoint?
Now carry out the following quick test:
1) Create a shortcut on your desktop to a file (any file).
2) Create a manual checkpoint
Could you create a checkpoint?
3) Delete the shortcut
4) Restore your PC to the checkpoint you created.
Was the shortcut restored? Did you see any error messages?
5) Reboot your PC
Was the checkpoint retained?

To put this politely, don't ask Harry how to fix anything. He
specializes in breaking stuff. (G) IOW, he could quite conceivably
give you the wrong advice.

Re: Antivirus
Hi Joan, - something about 'if it ain't broke' I guess <g>
But to be fair, I've nothing against Avast. It's just that I've never had
reason to use it. I know Alias always recommends it, and probably
justifiably so, but AVG (7.xx) had always done well on my WinMe boxes and as
I said elsewhere, I have no reason (yet) to pull it.
