Norton Anti-virus 2002 functions perfectly fine as an AV program
for win-9x/me. Once you install it, you can download something
called the "intelligent updater" file which will give NAV-2002
the most current symantec scan engine and viral definitions.

Er, no.. no it won't.

Won't what?

Update the definitions, or the scan engine?

If you say "scan engine", then you should take your foot out of your
mouth and read this thread:

Every time I update NAV 2002 with Intelligent Updater, the various DLL's
mentioned in that thread also get updated.

All windoze malware for the past 7 years is designed only for
win-NT based systems. They have no capacity to recover from
errors when they execute on win-9x/me systems.

That's insane and quite stupid advice. There is malware still
circulating that will make win9x it's home....

Name one.

Every file that I get via spam email (that claims to be a document, a
ticket receipt, a fax, a voice mail, etc) but is instead an executable,
I usually run just for the hell of it on my win-9x system - and watch it
fail with some "this program performed an invalid operation" error.
