Maybe it does but no anti virus is worse presumably!

Yes but that was not the thrust of the issue. The issue is the sse2 instruction set issue which has made other software, like ccleaner no longer work on amd also fail and why you cannot use firefox above 48 either.

Its the compiler used to make the code that no longer supports the chips. Also of course does this anti virus actually work with nvda which was why I asked on here in the first place.

Back when I used XP, which I don't anymore, but anyway, back when
I did, I used Clamwin for a long while, and hated it! I later
found that it wasn't even getting a tenth! of the stuff it needed
to be finding. Honestly, this is just my personal opinion of
course, but in my view, Clamwin was then, and still is a joke! On 1/21/2018 4:41 PM, Kevin Cussick via

Clamwin is poorly reviewed and it gets such poor
ratings that I wouldn't bother unless there is no alternative. Old
versions of Avast still run in XP and, while not nearly as accessible as
desirable, can be used. The new version looked to me not to be accessible
enough to use. I won't go into Avast more now. I will if people are
interested. You can still get old versions.

This in my opinion makes it rather less useful than many other anti-virus scanners, however if your choice is limited to whatever will still run under XP, then maybe it's a good enough compromise.

I notice that today the latest update to Microsoft Secuity essentials will no longer run on the old AMD Athlon etc, processors. The ones without SSE2 instruction set.
I found the update worked fine on intel chipped machines but just sulks on the amd ones, complaining the service is not running. I know there are a few people like myself on here who use these old clunkers as file servers on a network etc. So the question needs to be, and I suspect nobody really knows. is there a basic anti virus product of the free kind that will still work I wonder. I don't really feel like downloading every single one to test it! Superantispyware works but is as we all know a little flaky on nvda access at times. Besides it does not say its an anti virus, and in any case its hard enough to find one that will work on a screenreader in the first place. Byee. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.
