Windows 7 & Symantec Q&A 4.0 for Windows

 
Will it work?

 I would never use Norton or McAfee when you can get Comodo Security and Avast Protection free.

I can't get the Q&A to install but I think I only have version 4.0 from an old customer. Symantec has quit supporting this but there is an outfit that might help. They have a sequel to the Q&A database and they can convert old Q&A databases to the new Sesame format. You might look there for a more modern bit of software:

I tried various comparability modes but it won't install on my 64bit Win7 Pro. It 'might' install on a 32bit system but I can't say for sure.

 Hi.

 
Q&A 4.0 has nothing to do with any Symantec anti-malware product. Or anyone's anti-malware product for that matter.
 
It was a very early word processor and database application. You may be able to run it under compatibility mode with Win 7 but my copy of that program is long gone so I'm not sure. Probably wouldn't hurt to try it though.

When you need lpt for printing you need this version here:
