avast! 4 Home Edition & Windows 9x/Me

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hello!

Someone asked, on this little french avast! webforum, which are the limitations on non-NT-based Windows systems (9x/Me). Here is my answer, according to the official website, but is that correct? I’m not so sure ICQ isn’t supported.

  • no Scheduled Boot-Time Scan;
  • no Network Shield;
  • short range of supported Instant Messaging programs (AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Trillian and Yahoo! Messenger);
  • short range of supported Peer-to-Peer programs (BearShare, Direct Connect, DC++, iMesh, Kazaa and Kazaa Lite);
  • manual or semi-automatic [Mail Protection Wizard] configuration of the Internet Mail protection;
  • manual configuration of the Web Shield [browser].

Best regards,
pierrotlefou

ICQ is supported :wink: → cf. “Messagerie instantanée / Personnaliser”
