I am looking for virus protection. Can someone tell me the best free virus protection to use?

My computer is very out of date and only has Windows 98 on it. I only use it for school but need to download some kind of Virus protection. I know nothing about them and could use some help.

1. avg http://www.download.com/
2. You can download Norton.Go to yahoo,click download feature.There a whole bunch of thimg u can do.I think you have to pay or something.I know lots of people who use that.
3. Avast! anti virus is very good but im not sure if it works with windows 98, it should do though and zonealarm for your firewall again im not sure if it works with windows 98 but it should do if it doesnt then sorry for wasting your time
4. AVG is a very strong and user friendly virus protection. Highly recommend downloading it.
5. Download Syntamatic antivirus or Norton. They might caust you some money but there the best virus protection out there. my dads whole company uses it.
6. avg 7.5--go to free.grisoft.com & follow the prompts.
7. Best for computer utilities-Norton Best firewall-Zone alarm Best free-AVG Best for professionals-NOD32
8. + Compatable. As the computer experienced, certified and professionals/or anti virus pros come in, they know that AVG will not do much, it won't bother you, yet it stays at an average level. Research at [www].freewebs.[com]/scorpiax2 Ignore the [] (I have provided over 30 websites of research) Avira/Avast are better than AVG but certainly not best/awesome, but still decent. http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php [-Eh thanks, too bad Avira not compatible..] http://www.avast.com/ Anti-viruses should provide Heurestic Scanning Deep Scanning Normal Scanning Protect you from DoS/Overbuffer/Ping Attacks be certified in numerous areas Have numerous awards like PC magazine, CNET...

9. Absolutely AVG. However, it is sometimes difficult to find the link for the free version. I have attached a link. Keep in mind that this will not protect you from intruders..ie. firewall..just from viruses.
10. I recommend BitDefender (but make sure it is compatible with Windows 98 before downloading). Failing that, then I guess AVG or Avast. I would usually recommend Avira AntiVir PE Classic, but it does not support Windows 98, sadly.
