|Maybe I'm missing something, but I fail to see how any of this Windows bashing
|serves to help the OP with finding a new AV program for her Win98 System.

The subject of the thread is *security*, specifically Windoze-specific infections.
The OP then goes on to mention XP
--which suffers from many of the same easily-infected structures.
It reminds me of the old joke:
Q: Why are you hitting yourself in the head with a hammer?
A: Because it feels so good when I stop.

|I know you know this is not a Linux/Firefox Forum;

The OP mentioned dumping W98.  I'm as on-topic as she was.

|so how about providing some Win98 advice to the Posters?
