My McAfee has expired and I cannot renew it online as they don't support the
old version. Which means I have to go to a store and buy new software. I was thinking of Norton as that seems to be popular. I know there's a free version called AVG. Is it any good? I'm looking for something that won't conflict with Win98 or with any of my apps. I use ZoneAlarm as my firewall. |

I use ZoneAlarm as my firewall. I am using AntiVir Personal Edition on Win98 SE. It's free, and you don't have to register. You'd better have broadband, since the updates are big. www.avup.de/personal/en/avwinsfx.exe |

I agree with "AlmostBob".
Norton translates to "How to screw your PC up,fast" AVG from Grisoft is a good solid program. But what ever you get be sure to do regular updates. Manually prefered. Do do depend on any program to do it's update automatically. -----Original Message----- My McAfee has expired and I cannot renew it online as they don't support the old version.

I use ZoneAlarm as my firewall. I use Avast personal edition and am happy with it. I used ETrust before and was happy with it too. As far as I know, after the initial purchase price, their yearly renewal is still $10. |
