Avast and Win XP SP2
« on: July 31, 2004, 03:02:47 AM »
I use Avast on my old Win98 machine with no problem.  I am thinking of using it on my new XP machine but want to know if anyone has tried Avast with Service Pack 2 and whether it works.  I have read that SP2 may well disable a fair number of programs

Not Avast. Please do a search on SP2 and you'll find many replies.

Thanks for the replys, no I don't have an AMD 64 processor.  It is an AMD 2600 processor but still the old 32 bit architecture.

rj,

Avast works well on Win98, WinMe and Win2000 among the more common versions.

Service pack 2 is running on one of my machines with Avast.  No problems at all.
