If you're bound and determined to spend money for pasted-on "security",
this is the best:

With the things most folks do with a computer,
cache of
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/~bmoss/linux_laptop_project/software.htm[1]
http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS2844646285.html
A FREE copy of Linux will cover it WITHOUT any of this pasted-on "security".
For the timid who don't want to touch their C: drives, buying a used 20GB HDD
http://google.com/froogle?q=20GB+hard-drive
and doing a dual-boot with Win98/Linux will cost almost nothing.
(If you--yeech--format that as FAT32 or make a FAT32 data partition there,
those files will be accessible under W98.)
You can do a test drive of Linux without even *installing* it:
(Did I mention FREE?)
cache of https://shipit.kubuntu.org
If you don't have 256MB of RAM, look for 96MB here:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1229888749
If you find that Linux doesn't do what you need (even with WINE),
you can just pull that drive--or format it and use it for additional storage.
[1] ...and most Open Source apps (Firefox, OpenOffice, Inkscape...)
have Windoze-compatible versions--you can USE THE SAME APP under both OSes.
