Default Protection on older system.

I have an older system. Pent 166 mhz mmx...3 gig drive...split 60/40 c @ d.
Win 98 SE. I have installed resident: Avast...Zone Alarm Home...Spyware
Blaster. Is there any benifit to adding any more,ie: Spybot?
BTW..Also have all MS updates up to Feb. 2004. An associate made a copy of
the MS cd for me. Also where I got the ulities,did not have to download,
which I hate with a passion.

LOL..I know,get a pc later than the stone age.

Thanks as usual for any feedback, pro or con!

Regards..........

Not really. Keep the programs you have updated and while a few minor things
might slip by, the PC should be protected fairly well.

There are quite a few updates issued since 2004 which are worth having. If
your IE is up to date, downloading them isn't really such a pain.
