    AV for Win98

    Hello,
    I was using Avast but it isn't compatible with Win 98 anymore. I would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Chas

    Avast 4.8 works on Win 98.
    I'm not sure for how much longer they'll provide updates though.

    Be aware, that Clam doesn't work in real time, which pretty much kills any AV purpose.

    IMHO, Windows 98 (or ME) boxes should NOT be connected to the 'net anyway. There haven't been any Microsoft Security Updates for them since July 11, 2006.
