Anti-virus for Win 98?

I'm trying to sort out a query raised on another, non computing, forum.
A poster there has asked if there is a recommendable AV program for this old OS.
I suggested Avast!, but someone else has claimed that Avast! on early OS, had "issues".
Any thoughts on a suitable real time AV program?
Thanks.

 

PrevX works on Win98.

Thank you for your replies, folks!

 

Ok, so there still are some AV for Win98, but the real question is, are there still virus for Win98?

 

Nod32 v2.7

 

Amen,as long as it is around,2.7,Eset's best ever,is still the one to beat/use.

 

sure, trojans are still here. ~90% of the malware are the trojans

 

Free Rising AV claims to be Win 98 compatible as well.

FWIW- it appears that Rising's other products are not-

Many do not believe this, BUT!

At filehippo[dot]com, you can find BitDefender Free v10 Build 247. For Win 9x/ME ONLY, you'll find that this antivirus does not have on-execution protection, but it does have the following protection for Win 9x/ME users ONLY, because they forgot to disable these in the free version:

1) On-access scanning for email and for spyware
2) P2P scanning
3) Email scanning
4) Some registry protection
as well as some other features.

When installing -- ***IMPORTANT***-- CHOOSE COMPLETE OPTION.

Update, and because of the busy servers, you might have to download the update and install it by hand: unzip the cumulative update with the option to overwrite the files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Softwin\BitDefender Scan Server\Plugins

Now you're ready to go.
