After I downloaded the Beta spyware I got the error
message:You must install a Windows Service pack that
contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service.

I have Windows ME as my Operating System, and I don't know
which serfvice pack to choose or where to get it. Can
anyone help me with this? Also, I was searching for a
free firewall download for Windows ME, is there one
available and if yes, where can I get this on the
Microsoft website? Thank you. Kathleen
 
I'm afraid that Microsoft Antispyware is not available for your version of
Windows. This is clearly stated in the system requirements listed near the
bottom of the download page:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en

There are a number of free antispyware tools which are available for Windows
Millennium Edition:

This article lists several:

For firewalls, go here:

and choose your OS. There are no free ones represented, but there are some
lengthy free trials offered.

Please read the other information there as well, including looking at the
videos--there's a wealth of useful information tailored for your version of
Windows.
