add/install additional providers?

i have avast 4.6 installed on my win 98se system. Right now i have 5 providers installed (everything except network and outlook/exchange i believe).

my question is can i add the network provider? and how? or do i need to unistall avast completely and then reinstall it?

Go to Add/Remove programs > find avast! > then press remove and then you’ll see setup screen with repair, change, update and remove options. For repair option you must be online, so I think for Change option you should be connected.

I’m afraid you can’t - the Network Shield provider is supported on NT-based systems only, i.e. it is not available on Win98.

Outlook/Exchange will work, so if it’s NOT installed, you can install it if it’s needed. Yes, Network Shield is not available for Win98, my mistake, sorry. ;D

thanks a bunch, that explains why it was never installed.

Don’t worry, if you have a Personal Firewall such as Zone Alarm or McAfee, you should be mostly safe from worm attacks. ;D
