I'm trying to instal avast antivirus but its telling me I dont have the ODBC Drivers installed and to get them from microsoft. I've looked on there but im unsure to exactly which ones and where they are. Do I need microsoft net framework thing with this as I have always just not bothered installing that program when doing microsost update
Can someone tell me exactly which the odbc drivers are and where please?

Hi I'm using win 98.
I had already checked out the link you put above but I cant find exactly what drivers to download from there. There seems to be a lot of different types of odbc things on there so I don't know what to put onThanx

I thought it was 98 as you may have problems with Avast, what about AVG thats free
and as far as I am aware no problems with that.
Version 7.1.375 http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 scroll down
It just maybe easier than Avast...0 -
I tried grisoft but wanted to try avast as I had heard it was good. Its not the avast I'm having problems with yet coz I've not even been able to download it. I'ts just getting the right odbc drivers thats needed to instal it that I need. The avast sight says it can be run on win98. That link doesnt point to drivers for the odbc even though its supposed to so I don't know where or which ones they exactly areThanx

Avast and AVG have near the same rating..

Thats why I dont like Avast too much.. its a bit fiddly and you have to register
for a freebie.. I mean whats all that about
Try AVG and I will also say attacks are quite minimal on 98 systems.0
