Need free AV for Win 98SE?

We have two old laptops used for travel, just net surfing, e-mail, etc. The laptop run Win98SE and
are to old and slow to upgrade to XP or anything like it. We are unable to find a Anti Virus
program, preferably free, that will run on them being AVG is discontinuing support for 7.X and 8.
does not run on 98. Any ideas or hints?

Yes I'm using it on old laptop when I travel .
Win 98. Not 98SE either.
I prefer AVG, but ver 8 won't do Win 98.

Re: Need free AV for Win 98SE?

Sometimes a free version is a wrong one. So that i preffer to buy; first i had avast, a free version, and it took more space and it was very irritating. That's why a friend gave me a link with a program that helps me a lot. Look at this site, please and maybe you 'll say i'm right http://www.trustdownload.com/Antivir...urity-7.0.html
