Jaymo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) seeing as Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06r1 no longer updates and i keep it portable anyways, i wrote up a dirty batch simple and roughly modeled after one of jimmsta's. uses wget.(i use SSL static build)"wget -N http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.ref" placed in batfile in same dir works very well.if the file's up-to-date, it states - Server file no newer than local file `defs.ref' -- not retrieving.if the file's not up-to-date, you can watch it download at the command prompt. hope this helps somebody. Apparently professional still updates fine -(thx Philco), but I was diggin' around on the lavasoft forums, and if i'm not mistaken, it won't exactly be easy to get from them.

The Khan Artist Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 What free AntiVirus for 98 do you think is the fastest? I'm having to run an 8-year-old PC for a few months, and I want to stay safe, but don't want to make it any slower than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drugwash Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Fastest and best is common-sense.You may run an on-demand antivirus scanner whenever you think there might be a risk, otherwise just 'watch your step'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroOS Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 What free AntiVirus for 98 do you think is the fastest? I'm having to run an 8-year-old PC for a few months, and I want to stay safe, but don't want to make it any slower than it already is.Look on the second post of this topic and you will find a link to Avast! 4 Home virus scanner.It's probably one of the fastest and it works in 98.You will need to register for a product key, but registration is free and lasts for 14 months.After that you simply re-register.

dencorso Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) seeing as Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.06r1 no longer updates and i keep it portable anyways. i wrote up a dirty batch simple and roughly modeled after one of jimmsta's. uses wget.(i use SSL static build)"wget -N http://download.lavasoft.com/public/defs.ref" placed in batfile in same dir works very well.the only doubt i have, is that i already had the latest definition, so i haven't actually seen it overwrite.it does state, however - Server file no newer than local file `defs.ref' -- not retrieving.hope this helps somebody. It sure helped me! Thanks a lot. You rock! Edited February 6, 2008 by dencorso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changelog for the version released after this stated that 98/ME support had been dropped.As for other FTP clients, WINSCP is still supported (current version is 4.06):http://winscp.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
