And are you aware that AVG Free v7.5 is no longer supported in Win98 or any
other Windows version?

Yes, but I'm still using a lot of other unsupported software,
including this OS. I have other antivirus products, including Avast,
to fall back on. I can still use PC-cillin, if I manually download the
virus patterns, but the scan engine is not being updated so there may
be cases where malware will not be detected by the older scan engine.
Then there's always Virustotal for an online scan ...

Symantec Intelligent Updater will still update the scan engine and virus
definition files for NAV 2002.

And another thread is hijacked...
Are you running AVG Free 7.5? (Just because it's working doesn't mean it's
supported by AVG, Sunny, and there WILL come a time when AVG 7.5 will not
auto-update.)

Yep it's AVG 7.5 free. I check for updates twice a week.
The Win98 box is connected to two other WinXP computers, through a
router/4 port switch, and I use NetBEUI for file/printer sharing. Still
need an AV though.
Don't know where to go when AVG Free stops
