Re: NAV 2006 no longer supports WinMe & 98 users
Sorry, but the Dell PIII laptop that I'm typing this on is Running WinME. And I feel that I am quite secure. I keep up with Windows Update regularly for as long as M$ continues to update it. I run AVG, Adaware, Spybot. This machine is sitting on a 5000D/512U cable connection, behind a old PII machine running IPCop. I don't run IE except for Windows Update. I uninstalled Norton a couple of years ago, and never realized how much that bloated hunk of junk slowed this machine down. I have not had a virus, nor much problems with spyware, adware or other junk. I run Firefox, and Opera, with popup blockers.
Now, my wife, 4 feet to my right, has a new Dell machine that came with WinXP. I have gotten a good grounding in XP from fixing it when she breaks the operating system. She got a drive-by downloaded virus the other night that had me running all the standard tools, then breaking out the XP CD to refresh a file.
I follow this forum regularly, and it's high on my list of favorite forums on BBR. I have learned much from the learned folks who post here, and I thank you all profusely. |
