Greetings:
I found this Antivirus program," Panda Antivirus 2008" and it supports Windows 98.
Just wondering if any of you have used this program?
AVG will stop support for Windows 98 in April. My license will expire in February
with AVG. I don't want to purchase another license from them which will expire
in a month.
Best Regards,
Gerald

Hi Gerald.
AVG were stopping support for AVG 7.5 at the end of last year. Now when you check
the AVG forum they are now stopping on February 28, 2009.
AVG 7.5 Free -
SUPPORT PROLONGED! - 28/02/2009
They have also been updating their server for the updates.
AVG Update Failed
- update servers availability
I've had trouble getting the updates for a few days now. I'm wondering if the server
was the problem?
Ok I've just spent 40 minutes download the updates and after it finished AVG crashed.
I've rerun Control Centre 5 times and it stops reponding everytime.
There are other free anti-virus apps that will run on Win98SE.
AntiVir Personal 7.00.03.02
and
Avast! Home Edition
4.8.1296
I've never tried Panda so I can't comment on that.

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

Here's how your posts look:

If you're bound and determined to spend money for pasted-on "security",
this is the best:
http://www.google.com/search?q=eset+NOD32
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:eset.com+NOD32+Windows-98
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.

Greetings Gewg:
Was having to enable cookie for this site AFTER I had replied. So, I had to cut
some of previous message out. Missed some of it I guess that's why the post wasn't
up to par. Anyway I got my message to the person to whom I was addressing and it
wasn't you.
Checked out your link to eset.com. " Built on the award-winning ESET NOD32 Antivirus."
Systems Requirements Operating Systems: Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows
XP (32 and 64-bit editions), Microsoft Windows Vista (32 and 64-bit editions)
I did notice an old version for 98 listed but there's no free trial. You have to
call them and pay to get that version. "Pig in a poke."
Thank you for your response.
Best Regards,
Gerald
