You may use ESET anti-virus build 2.7 though it is not available for download from the ESET download site, you may get builds elsewhere such as File Hippo. All the FAQ's regarding this are below including the length of time you will be able to obtain update virus signature updates. <http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2386> <http://www.filehippo.com/download_nod32/history/2/> Silj -- "Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be -- or to be indistinguishable from -- self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time." - Neil Stephenson, _Cryptonomicon_

BTW bytheway, speed without the overhead of a realtime AV is remarkably better for the type of hardware that typically requires using W98se in the first place. That is, if your hardware is so retarded as to need to use Win98, then you probably shouldn't be doing things with Win98 + (burdensome) AV. You should be doing it some other way. Let's back up a little bit. What exactly is the hardware that is running this W98? -- Mike Easter |
