Is there a antivirus that I can download that still supports Windows 98se for my Dell Dimension desktop?

Fascinating how this works, using OE to post. I've never used usenet or the like before. Very interesting. Thanks for the info, I expect I will try the program 'fix' available from this guy http://members.aol.com/rloew1/ Anyone think it might be worth the ten bucks?

What is the last version of Thunderbird that can be used in Win98se? I have ver. 2.0.0.24. I have been using that for decades and never had a need to upgrade. It does all I need, so why add more bloated crap. I use gmail, and use their SMTP pop mail to get my email to TB. I no longer have any...

I have a CD copy of 98se and it doesn't boot. Are there any cabinet files that would contain mscdec.exe and some generic ms-dos driver? I'm not quite sure how to boot this CD since it's not bootable. It's just a copy. I know I will need io.sys and msdos.sys and autoexec.bat too atleast maybe...

With the html 5, I'm constantly getting script errors in the browsers I have been using, namely K-Meleon, Netscape, and Seamonkey. I quit using IE years ago, and know that IE6 is the last version for 98. (which was always crap). I found a browser called Flock, and found out it wont run in Win98,...

Please recommend one. Also, any advice on how to remove Zone Alarm v.6.0...? It's in my backup Win 98. Don't use it often so I missed the warnings about that version becoming unsupported. I was advised in another group to get "Perfect Uninstaller". It won't install. Error messages. A good site...

I have successfully installed the latest version of Opera 10.52 on Windows 98 Second Edition even though the download calls for Windows 2000 or greater to run. I wanted to let everyone know because it is nice to have a browser that will run in windows 98 SE and that is currently supported.

This is a new thread about the P500 computer that needed drivers. There are so many useful replies in Brian's previous thread (that was a repost of my original thread), that I have a real problem trying to find the message to reply to. This is the current status. Video driver- solved except...

I keep running into dead ends here. I have a modern i7 machine with Windows XP and Microsoft's GS Wavetable SW for MIDI which sounds different than the one I remember in Win95/98 when I used Voyetra AudioStation to mess with MIDIs. I tried Virtualbox which doesn't simulate the old OPL3 MIDI...

This morning when I started my Windows 98 Dell Dimension, it began something I hadn't seen before, a surface scan, a very slow process that took 30 to 40 minutes, then it told me it had found one bad cluster (out of the many thousands of clusters on the C drive) that was bad, and so it was moving...
