I will try and remember to check it out next time I update.
[i]Downloaded and installed Version 4.25.1012 of SAS and it’s gone south on Windows Me… This is the latest version and is suppose to run on all flavors of Windows… So the questin is: what defines ‘all flavors of Windows’…
Numerous uninstalls and reinstalls have failed to fix the problem as initially identified in this thread… Guess it’s time to query the SAS forum and see what they have to say…
Needless to say I’m not a happy camper…
Edited: I’ve contacted SAS with this issue… Will update the thread when/if I hear something from them…
obtw; MalwareBytes is NOT usable on Windows Me… “Requirements: Windows 2000/XP/Vista”…[/i]
ProgrammerGuy,
Hi you could download this ewido micro scanner, also very good: http://downloads.ewido.net/ewido_micro.exe (I use it from a USB stick -File size: 149.55 KB),

[i]Thanks ‘polonus’ I’ll check it out as a possible replacement for SAS on my Windows Me computer… 
I downloaded it, created a shortcut to it and double clicked on it… Nothing shows up in Task Manager… Does it run in background something like SpywareBlaster does or what?[/i]
Hi ProgrammerGuy,
You just put the icon in a folder, and then clcik that icon, you wait for it to start loading the new detection files, and then scan with it, a shortcut to it does not work, because the icon is that executable program, it is rather small, that is why it is called micro…

I started the thread “programmergru” Same OS as you. SAS seems to take for ever to START, RUN, and to LOG OUT OF, but it dose run. MY start to finish is about half an hour. It just lately got slower. see the response I got from them in first part of this thread.
[i]Thanks for the input ‘hines232’… You get a lot farther than I seem to…
Here’s the thread at SAS:

I downloaded and installed Version 4.25.1012… I cannot get SAS to run except from “Repair”… When it does run it wants to update the definitions… After the initial download SAS stops responding and tends to lock up my computer. I’ve tried running RUNSAS.EXE however, I get two errors: “Expects a newer version of Windows” and “A device attached to the system is not functioning”… I’m beginning to think that even though you indicated that SAS is good for ‘all’ versions of Windows; it isn’t… Multiple uninstalls and reinstalls have failed to correct the problem…

Hi John
SUPERAntiSpyware won’t start up at all? The main program window never shows up, or does it lock up or crash?

Sorry, I guess I should have said that it won’t start at all… The ‘splash screen’ never shows up and cannot open it from the icon the system tray…

I checked around with my fellow support gurus, and it looks as though we have had a report or two of this happening with the older versions of Windows. For now, I would revert to the previous release, it sounds like our developers will have to track down the problem and do another release in the next week or so.
Here’s a link to the previous version:

For now I’m going to do as they suggest and go back to an earlier version and NOT update anything but the definition files… Let’s see if they find, and fix, the problem

AOK My friend, I have the latest ver. and it is very SLLLLLLLLow.
