In this paper I prove the following result:

Theorem. Let f(d) be a multiplicative function such that |f(d)| ≤ 1 and ∑{ l/p : p ε P} = ∞, where P denotes the set of primes p for which f{p) = −1, and let v(n) denote the number of distinct prime factors ofn. Then for almost all n,

where A is an arbitrary constant > 3/e.
