I can't find a kill process button".

I only have this program installed on Win XP, so it's possible some functions may not be compatible with Win ME. I will install it on Win ME later and let you know.

Yes, definitely this is coming at the nasties from a different direction ...

Check out the attachment.

Hello Joe,

Thanks for the above attachment. Clearly my WinMe lacks those choices in the LH pane. I can find no reference to this in the forums (of the freeware). So I would appreciate knowing whether your Me has the same omissions or not.

Ben.

Hi Ben:

Wow, my Win ME has all the functions for this program. I guess you may of gotten a corrupt installation file. Uninstall the program and try to remove all traces of the program files with JV16 PowerTools and then install a new file.

The site has 5 different download mirror options, try a different one.

Good luck ...

Thanks, Joe. That worked. Uninstalled the Mirror 3 d/load and used the Mirror 2 one.

You're welcome, I'm glad it worked out. My Win ME showed all Green entries in the Processes function ...

Have you tried the "a-squared Free 3.5" malware scanner? As I mentioned in Post # 388, it's a good program with daily updates and a right click on any file to scan feature.

Hello Joe,

I am going to stay with the first mentioned pro tem, Joe. the 'HiJackFree' version 3.1
There was nothing amiss with my first download. I was on a different page from you is all it was.

I was working on the 'Others' section (see attached) which only allows a Kill or Delete of Malwares. And the givens are not necessarily malware even if coloured red.

I actually think I am out of my depth with this tool, Joe.

We never did discuss Autoruns and I don't consider myself qualified to understand it. So I will leave you and Mike with these a-squared ones. In view of the seeming fact that WinMe is no longer of interest to the malefactors I am content with my routines and the freewares I have.

But this thread is for anyone. So keep posting, Joe.

Best wishes.

Ben.

I do agree the HijackFree 3.1 is exactly what was mentioned in the tutorial for "advanced users". I often find myself lost inside the program and have since removed it from both PC's. Though I will go back to the program as an option if my system becomes infected with nasty malware that other programs are unable to remove.

I've been using the "a-squared Free 3.5" program on both my PC's now for over a month with no problems. It has a very friendly user interface and does a good job of scanning your system for malware plus has a right click on any file to scan feature.

Since a lot of malware software companies are abandoning support for Win 98/ME, I find the "a-squared Free 3.5" malware scanning program an excellent option.

As you can see from the attachment, the interface is very basic and easy to use.

Happy scanning ...

As an aside, I once ran into a ME machine that had a virus in several places but it didn't do any real damage since it was looking for XP files...Ah, the good old days...

**ekim68** · 01-Jul-2008, 01:48 AM **#399**

Firefox 3.0 doesn't work on ME....

Just found this on the WinME NG:

Thanks to Blue Zee for the reminder of the pleasure Heirloom's posts always gave - if I, as a newbie, didn't always understand them, there was always a smile to be had from his signature!

I am sure Heirloom wouldn't mind my quoting his most recent post in microsoft.public.windowsme.general - here it is:

And, if I may, I add the link to the complete list of Topics and Systems in Microsoft Public Newsgroups as accessed by Outlook Express - from James A. Eshelman's (Aumha) site here.

Thanks Blue Zee...Got to keep the libraries up to date..

Well, since this machine keeps on going like the energy bunny, a couple of things:

Still getting updates for Firefox and Java...They aren't deserting me yet...
