Support for Windows Update?

Does Microsoft still issue Windows Updates for Win98? I've
checked it about ten times over the past two months, and it always
says that there are no updates available.

It is still supported but I don't believe that any were issused in several
months.

Microsoft is supporting Windows 98 to the end of June 2006.

It is an old operating system, so most of the fixing has
been done.

There have only been a few updates for Windows XP.

You can keep checking, but updates will be far and few
between.

.

There is also a Windows Security Update cd to update your system for Windows
98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP. It is available free from Microsoft.

Yes they do, but only those deemed to be critical will be available
at WinUP site. Two months? You should have had a hit for 837009
update. If not, follow the link provided on this site.

Or get it here.

"There are no critical updates available at this time.", it says. But
here are the last three I did get for Win98SE IE6 SP1...

Critical Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB831167)
Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 Service Pack 1
(KB837009)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
(KB832894)

There BETTER be a new one in the works, per NEWS reports & per this
article Candlin found...!...

Security experts warn of mysterious Net virus
Web infection may be aimed at stealing financial data

"The infection appears to take advantage of three separate flaws
with Microsoft Corp. products. Microsoft said software updates
to fix two of them had been released in April,
but the third flaw was newly discovered and had no patch to fix it
yet."

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
