Oh I do hope that for older systems that the AV still works and can be updated for VPS on 98, I hope your guess is right.
I will still keep my Zone Alarm, as it’s the Avast 5 not supporting the older system that worried me a little.
I know that one day I will be forced to have to buy a new computer, but I love what I have at present, and it does what I need it to do without to many hindrances.
I know Vlk is more interested in the newer operating systems, but all I am asking is for him to say whether 9x systems will be supported in the new Avast 5 when it comes out.
Vlk,
Can you please give me a yes or no, I just need it for basic use.
well, i’m afraid, but it seems as if avast! is not going to support these OS any more… :-
because if it would, the team would be proud of it and use it as advertisement…
(just a thought of me…)
Well Tech thinks that they will keep support going as there are still computers that use these systems, all I want is for Vlk to tell us what he thinks or knows.
Will the proactive detection be heuristic based or behavior based ??? Personaly I would prefer a behavior based detection, but that is another discussion
I don’t see so important to protect a OS 10 years old… (just my opinion, i know someone will need it)
About heuristic based or behavior based i prefer heuristic honestly… there are a lot of software that do behavior based… firewalls…antispywares…exc… but with heuristic… u can’t find a software that helps avast in it for this i hope avast 5 will have a strong one.
