Default Anti-Virus / Anti-spyware

I am not a fan of most of the available packages, and prefer to run specialised
individual apps.

Have a look here for more info about what to use to prevent and remove spywa

and

There are a number of good anti-virus apps out there. I would avoid both Norton
(Symantec) and McAfee with a Win98 system. I currently use and recommend a free for
home use anti-virus, Avast:

I don't recommend Avast on a very old and slow system though....a processor of less
than 400-500 MHz may see delays.

Can anyone recommend a Win98SE compatible anti-virus / anti-spyware
software package?

I am currently using PC Guard, which is provided by my cable provider
(Telewest) but it seems to keep causing my machine to crash.
