    Windows 98SE

    Does anyone still make an anti-virus/anti-spyware that still updates and
    still works for Windows 98? McAfee and AVG both stopped updating for 98.

    ClamWin seems to be it. Since Microsoft no longer supports 9x most AVs
    are not including 9x in their updates. You may need to consider
    switching to another OS.

    Avast anti-virus says it supports 98:

    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Scroll down the page to PLATFORMS and it has Windows 98. And it's free
    for home use!

    I can't find what a-squared free supports but maybe you can:

    Spybot Search & Destroy supports 98:

    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

    And it's free.

    SUPERAntiSpyware Free doesn't say but maybe you can find it?

    Strange. I have 98SE and have Superantispyware and AVG (new
    download) operating properly. AVG had automatic download of update
    about 20 minutes ago.

    I'm running Win98SE and still continue to get regular AVG updates.

    Me too! I just updated mine about 30 minutes ago, as I do every day!
    I'm using 98SE.

    I use both 98SE and ME and can update AVG on both with no problems.

    Maybe you need to update the program itself.
