Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / August 2008Antivirus for win98se
Have a laptop finally running and need an AV program. (See Invalid Hibernation partition/file???) Running AVG on all other systems(XP) but 98se can't handle 7.5 or 8.0... Would also like to load a firewall program, currenly running ZA on other systems also. Any suggestions please, For AV, get Avast!. I don't generally run firewalls, so I'll keep my mouth shut on that one.  SignatureGary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com > Have a laptop finally running and need an AV program.

It was about 30 to 40 miles away but the smoke was impossible for me on some days. As for legacy apps, I got tons, <g>. But you can probably find them out there on the net *without* having to give in to the "click here, now click here, now...." BS, or sign up for anything. Of course, it helps to know the filename. like AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe. Or you search on "acroread 6.1" (without quotes) or "Acrobat Reader 6.1" (with or without quotes). You'll also want a copy of WinZip 8.1, not sure what else. SignatureGary S.

Got a son living in the Petrified Forest outside of Calistoga and they're on high alert. I'll find the programs I need. Would have been easier to just throw in disk. :) Already d/l winzip.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >> Any suggestions please, Probably a download that only supports Win2K, I imagine. You'd have to locate an older download elsewhere, of the Win98-compatible installer. It's probably not worth the effort, as Avast is a much better product.

L. > This one should work: > AVG Free Edition 7.5.524 [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>>> >>>> Any suggestions please, For a zipping program I have been using Winrar 3.6 beta 2, from www.rarlabs.com/, on both Win98se & Win2kPro systems with good success. They now have 3.8 beta 4 out, these beta programs are free shareware versions, for a user to try free for typically 40 days, or so. Using this & Free Commander, at www.freecommander.com/, similar to the old Win3x File Commander but with many more features, I can open a compressed folder and view files, copy into, or out of, the compressed folder as though it is an ordinary folder. I have been using this on an old raid 5, using a rocket raid 454, www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr454.htm, daughter board with 5 WD160g drives, win98se server that was setup several years ago with no problems. All keyboard work is done from a win98 or win2k workstation with no, or very little, keyboard work done on the actual server. Win98 seems reasonably stable if you don't touch the keyboard. Re-boots only needed every 30 to 90 days or so, when CPU usage gets to high. I have, from time to time, 3 to 8 workstations working off the server, used for data mostly with only one server app on board for workstation access. Winrar also lets the user password protect the files created although a couple of features are restricted on the free beta copy. Each time it is run a pop-up nag appears to upgrade to the full version. Close makes it go away. I don't know if the latest beta works with win98 though as I have not run it.
