Hi,

I've just downloaded AntiSpyware(Beta) at work. I wonder if
it will work on my home computer which runs on a German
version of Windows XP. I've had problems with the service
packs for Windows XP which are language-dependent, apparently.

The beta is English only.

That said, a number of users in non-English locales seem to be running it
successfully.

It does have an odd dependency on the default date format for the locale--as
far as I can spot from here. If your date format is set to other than the
first choice in the drop-down box, the beta may either refuse to run
(expired) or expire at an unexpected time.

I have one thread with a user of German Windows who has an unexpected issue
with times. I'm not recalling it well but all attempts to set a particular
time for scans, I think, result in the same default setting. My gut feeling
is that this is some other issue than the German version of Windows, but I
could be wrong, and maybe you can prove it for me?

I'm not aware of any increased level of risk to using the beta in
non-English versions of Windows--but caution is certainly in order.
