Revo Uninstaller?

Posted by jean_mi_z5 (My Page) on

I have WinME on my laptop and wondering if Revo is compatible with with ME. I want to remove AVG and install Avast.

Thanks,
Jean

Use this tool to uninstall Avg, use the 32bit.exe

Here is a link that might be useful: download-tools

Here's the real issue

Note: The operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 will be supported until the end of 2009 for Avast.

Time to upgrade the operating system!

Guess there isn't much use of going with AVAST then huh?

"Time to upgrade the operating system!"

I would love to upgrade the system...I absolutely HATE ME..

I only have 256MB of RAM

Thanks for the uninstaller link...

Back to your original question just in case a future need arises, REVO does not support ME. The supported O/S begins with Win2000.

Thanks DA. That's what I thought

Jean I agree with ME was awful. I was so glad to get rid of that PC.

RE: Revo Uninstaller?

Windows Me was criticized by users for its instability and unreliability, due to frequent freezes and crashes. A PC World article dubbed Windows Me the "Mistake Edition" and placed it 4th in their "Worst Tech Products of All Time" feature. "Shortly after Me appeared in late 2000", the article states, "users reported problems installing it, getting it to run, getting it to work with other hardware or software, and getting it to stop running."

The System Restore feature sometimes ended up restoring malware which the user had previously removed, since its method of keeping track of changes is fairly simplistic. By disabling System Restore, the malware could be removed, but the user lost all saved restore points.

My recollection is ME was the bridge between the prior Windows architecture and the NT architecture of Win2000 which is to this day the foundation of XP, Vista and W7. It most certainly was not a quality product, but it might have served a useful purpose in the evolution of the Windows O/S. Of course, that didn't help the users then.
