Antivir is not compatible with Win 98, Microsoft does not support it
avast still works for 98.

You really should upgrade to XP (you need a lot of resources for Vista). Personally I wouldn't trust anything that I just saw come up with google. Years ago I had trouble finding legitimate software for Windows 98, so finally upgraded to XP.
Upgrade to XP and then download, install, update and scan with the following free:
AVG Free from http://free.avg.com/ - this is an anti-virus, ensure that you only have one anti-virus program installed on your computer
You can have multiple anti-spyware/malware/adware programs to scan, ensure they are legitimate. I suggest the following:
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition from http://www.superantispyware.com or download.com
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware...
Valid downloads of Malwarebytes only come from these sites:
http://www.download.com
http://www.majorgeeks.com
http://projects.securitywonks.net
Spybot Search & Destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org - activate TeaTimer and ensure that you immunize every time you update (Spybot S & D updates on Thursday)
Ad-Aware 2008 Free from http://www.lavasoft.com
CCleaner is a good tool to run once in awhile
Firefox is a much safer browser than IE http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/f.../releasenotes/
Go with Avast. Its a remarkable antivirus.
