Netscape 8.1 adds spyware scanner, bundles

AOL HAS released version 8.1 of the Netscape browser. In case you were expecting something revolutionary, or that the company listened to the users’ pleas to bring back the e-mail client or to extend Netscape 8 to other operating systems, Netscape 8.1 offers no very good news for you: it’s still Windows-only, and it’s still as U.S.-centric (if not more) than 8.0.

Find the program’s release notes here.

Let’s start with the good:

* Most stability problems appear to be ironed out by now.
* The applications starts very quickly. At least on my test system, a 2.4Ghz P4 with 512MB running WinXP SP2.
* There’s a new spyware scanner. Described here.
* Multiple user profiles are back - I remember those from Netscape 4.0 back in 1996. Ten years ago.
* The user is offered to download and auto install a copy of McAfee antivirus. In case you’ve been living outside this Planet and don’t know by now that running Windows without an antivirus is suicidal.
