Does anyone know if there are any antivirus products that still work for Win98se?
I am trying to find one for someone who is still using Win98, they are going to get a new computer soon but need something to protect them in the meantime.
They were using AVG 7.5 but that is not being supported now.
I tired Avast but it won't update properly. Any others I have found won't work for Win98.

Yes I know Avast does but for some reason it installs but program won't update, think it is a memory problem0 -
