Default Free Anti- virus for 98SE and ME?
Does anyone know any free anti-virus programs that will work on Windows 98SE and ME computers?

I'm currently using Norton 2004 on both but last time they gave me grief about upgrading... but I'm using Windows live one on my Vista

I'm kind of getting tired of paying for 2 anti-viruses.

Thanks

Thank, I'll look into them. I was just looking at clamwin but it says you have to manually scan the files and I didn't see anything on a firewall.

They don't take that long to install, and there's always Google. I'm sure at least one of them would.

Kaspersky doesn't list 98SE/ME as a supported OS
AVG through google says no.

Avast and Sophos don't say what they do or don't. I'll do some more digging on this two. Thanks

I'm pretty sure Avast still supports 98SE.
