I akways liked 98, fewer problems with it though it's yesterday.
Dont know, may me it's just illusion but with 98 i got virus rather rare, twice for 3 years. Can it be that viruses prefer newer winds as they are wider spread?
And what antivirus programs would you recomend to protect PC?

just an illusion i'm afraid. If anything, as the old OS are not supported the exploits that exist are never plugged or protected by AV that don't even work on older OS

as for antivirus try AVG, AVIRA NOD32 etc.

You seem to be a bit conservative) just got used to 98, that is all))

As for antivirus i use Kaspersky, rather reliable. Here is this program and some other antivirus soft. Hope you will find what you need
