Think about a linux for that era of computer like u-lite. The link is in
my signature file.

You can use clamwin antivirus, but it doesn't have a realtime scanner.
You just have to scan every file manually. It is not true that win 9x
isn't vulnerable to things as some people suggest. Because they don't
support it anymore virus people are targeting it. There are things you
can do to pretty much bullet proof it, like.


You can use clam, but
you have to set it to manually check each downloaded file. You can also
try and bullet proof your computer, by only using mozilla browsers with
the noscript addon. k-meleon and mozilla suite still support 98. Opera
also protects you from malicious javascript pretty good. Use anything
but outlook express for email, and usenet. Webmail or alternative
clients, are safer. Use policy editor, and set up administrative and
limited user accounts. When you go online you should only use a limited
user account. For things like installing programs you can use
administrative, or the runas dialogue in the right click. Limited User
accounts protect the computer from alot of malicious code, by denying
hackers full administrative privileges.

This stuff will block 90% of it. Beyond that use a linux made for older
computers like u-lite in my sig. It comes in a live cd so you can try it
and learn it before you install.

Linux may not be an option for the OP.

Also, "switch to Linux" is not the fix for every problem.

Take a look at Clamwin Free Antivirus (www.clamwin.com), it is open
source and free. Unfortunately it doesn’t have any proactive
features, but it is a good scanner with a high detection rate that is
updated often.
