  • SuperAntiSpyware

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to All on Sat Oct 10 11:02:00 2020
    Howdy!

    Lately after I turned the XP pc on, when I try to Update SuperAntiSpyware
    (SAS) the Update fails.

    Other attempts to Update SAS fails too.

    Does anyone else have problems Updating this or any other AntiSpyware/Malware or AntiVirus Program?

    Thanks.

    I don't know SAS (except for the survival guide book!)

    I simply use the Window's Security Essentials, Spyware-blaster, and
    Spybot Search and Destroy on my XP machines.

    Set up a VM with XP to see if it would work with running my board on. It's
    not just what you mentioned which refuses to update...but many other pieces
    of software...like browsers & such to make it useful. Even 7 is heading this way.

    Combofix for XP, Vista and 7 was by far THE best virus/malware removal tool.

    Sometimes it ended up being a Windows removal tool, but back in the
    day when I managed teams supporting Windows 7 it was a great *quick*
    fix for most any virus issue.

    The FREE versions of both Avast and AVG still support win XP
    I have been a Avast user ofor about 15 years anb have no complaints.
    Anthough the bugging to upgrade to the paid version is a minot nuance
