Avg bootup.exe detects a virus when using drdos emm386 for a memory
manager. (I know it is not infected, I download it directly from
caldera’s website very long time ago) Version number is 3.11

You seem surprised that one OS's AV tags
another OS's utility as uniknown thus suspicious.

A very long time ago, are you sure that version 3.11 is actually even helping
your system do anything, Windows98 dosnt use extended memory emulation like
dos 3 did. It is way out of date
