Product Platform: WinNT,Win95,Win98,WinME,WinXP,Win2k

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I've sworn by this product and used licensed and free, unlicensed versions since I found it years ago. Now, I need to use my older laptop which can only run Windows ME, due to limitations. Ir's a great laptop. Why waste it? Plus I can't afford another. Sorry for the soliloquy. Point is, Even though the web download page on this site says it works for versions as low as Windows 98, it definitely will *not* install on Windows ME.
I knew 8.0 was like this when it came out, but I had stupid faith that they would release a version that did work for us other guys. Hence the listing on Version Trakker - I thought. Well, no such luck. Time to forget about my old friend AVG and move to a company that believes in the environmental ethics of supporting older equipment, helping keep it out of landfills and dumps before its time. Thanks.
