Antivirus for win98se
Thanks for the info.
I've D/L Avast and it's working great. L. "glee" wrote in message ... This one should work: AVG Free Edition 7.5.524 http://www.filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/4029/ -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Windows, A+ http://dts-l.net/ http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "L.S." wrote in message ... I couldn't get 7.5 to load. Msg states 'need win2k or higher'. "glee" wrote in message ... Just FYI, AVG 7.5 works fine on Win98SE, and is supported till the end of 2008. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Windows, A+ http://dts-l.net/ http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "L.S." wrote in message ... Have a laptop finally running and need an AV program. (See Invalid Hibernation partition/file???) Running AVG on all other systems(XP) but 98se can't handle 7.5 or 8.0... Would also like to load a firewall program, currenly running ZA on other systems also. Any suggestions please, |

Antivirus for win98se
For a zipping program I have been using Winrar 3.6 beta 2, from
www.rarlabs.com/, on both Win98se & Win2kPro systems with good success. They now have 3.8 beta 4 out, these beta programs are free shareware versions, for a user to try free for typically 40 days, or so. Using this & Free Commander, at www.freecommander.com/, similar to the old Win3x File Commander but with many more features, I can open a compressed folder and view files, copy into, or out of, the compressed folder as though it is an ordinary folder. I have been using this on an old raid 5, using a rocket raid 454, www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr454.htm, daughter board with 5 WD160g drives, win98se server that was setup several years ago with no problems. All keyboard work is done from a win98 or win2k workstation with no, or very little, keyboard work done on the actual server. Win98 seems reasonably stable if you don't touch the keyboard. Re-boots only needed every 30 to 90 days or so, when CPU usage gets to high. I have, from time to time, 3 to 8 workstations working off the server, used for data mostly with only one server app on board for workstation access. Winrar also lets the user password protect the files created although a couple of features are restricted on the free beta copy. Each time it is run a pop-up nag appears to upgrade to the full version. Close makes it go away. I don't know if the latest beta works with win98 though as I have not run it. JamesSoCal This message is being sent courtesy of Thunderbird the free email client from the Mozilla group at www.Mozilla.org or www.Mozilla.org/Thunderbird with scheduling being included with the Lightning addon. Digital signatures are added using the 'text complete' add-on to Thunderbird. Browsing is done using Firefox at www.Mozilla.org/Firefox with the IETab addon for visiting IE specific web sites such as the local Board of Realtors & MLS sites. Both are included in www.PortableApps.com which can travel with you on a flash drive from PC to PC. Open Office Impress, similar to MS Power Point, in PortableApps is being used for all class on screen presentations from my flash drive. All these software packages are free and are supported free under the GNU license. L.S. wrote: Have a laptop finally running and need an AV program. (See Invalid Hibernation partition/file???)
