Subscription renewal
« on: October 23, 2010, 11:19:12 PM »
My antivirus subscription runs out 1 NOV.  When I try to renew, I am forced to upload V5.0, but then it aborts because this computer only runs Windows ME and I only use this to keep up with e-mail and forums.  I can't upgrade Windows (hardware constraints).  Is there a way to continue to receive virus updates under the old version (v4.8)?

No, I do not think so, sorry.  

You would be good till the new year, which is when 4 will be discontinued last I heard.

As Gargamel360 stated, AVast 4.8 is near end of life.  You can still register it at the link below, and gain a couple of months with it but that's all.

Support of version 4.8 will end in next months.
ClamAv (www.clamav.net) and BitDefender version 10 (http://download.cnet.com/BitDefender-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10322483.html) seem the last options for Windows 98.
