Wonder what they mean by that?
I got a 90 but the first time I got 80 because they asked if I used a secure wireless network. I said no because I don't use any wireless network so they penalized me for that. They should fix that question.

Dude - That is because Win98 no longer has current security updates to fix known security loopholes.

Exactly. If you are using Win98, and you are connected to the Internet, then you don't have any security, so there is no need to take the test. If you are not using Win98, but one of the other operating systems listed, then you may have some security, so you can take the test. Since Win98 is no longer receiving security updates, it has unpatched security loopholes that allow an attacker to compromise it without any action by the user if it is connected to the internet.
