Greetings Keith: Avast will not support 98 after,"Note: The operating systems Windows 95/98/Me/NT4 will be supported until the end of 2009." I copied that off their website. I have the AVG 7.5 Anti-Virus Professional Edition and it is still functioning properly and am getting the updates. I do not visit the forum but I was on AVG's website looking around and that's where it stated,"AVG will stop support for Windows 98 in April." The Avast purchased edition would at least give me protection for this year. I think I have used their product once before. The info I found on Panda Antivirus 2008 states it supports 98, XP and Vista. That kinda sounded like they could keep up with the higher versions and still keep 98 in the pack. When AVG goes out I think I'll try it. Sorry to hear you're having troubles with your AVG. Do you have the purchased edition or the free one? Remember when I posted that AVG had crashed on me? I emailed them and explained the problem and they sent me a link to download it. Maybe you could try that. Best Regards, Gerald
