Well, those quit support long ago.

AVAST supposedly will continue supplying defs for its 4.8 version
through this year {supposedly}, though it supplies no support nor newer
versions;

several PAID AV providers offer 9X versions as part of their packages;

ClamAV is free
http://www.clamwin.com/;

there are a couple of relatively unknown {as in not around during 9X
life} AV applications which I can provide no information or
recommendation on.

As for your browser issue mentioned elsewhere, try Opera or one of the
browsers mentioned on evolt as supporting 9X:
http://browsers.evolt.org/?

NOTE: Flash will be an ongoing issue on your limited CPU and memory 9X
computer, as many sites now require version 10.

You might want to think about an alternative OS that supports the newer
Web requirements. You could even use one of the bootable/LiveCD OSs if
your system supports booting from a CD drive.
