Just ran a scan with the most recent update of Avast Free 4.8, can’t believe how much faster Avast performs the scan. What was a 2 to 3 hour process only took 55 minutes. Thanks. Just want to confirm that Avast will continue to support Win98SE in the future, or that even if you bring out new versions that no longer support 98SE, I can continue to get the daily definition updates for Avast Free 4.8 that I am currently using. Thanks.
This thread may be of interest.
The scanning speed is a function of the scanning or not of archive files and the number of them, the number of files, the processes running in background, etc.
As far we know, support to Windows 98 will continue in avast 4. New features aren’t being added to old OS but just for the new ones.
