Good Day!

Can someone help me to install Symantec Anti-Virus in Windows 98. I'm taking a hard time to install it. There's a message saying that it can't proceed to installing until you update your OS. Please help me to do it...

Thanks!!!

Unfortunately Symantic Antivirus 2009 (as well as most current antivirus software) is not compatible with windows 98. If it's not an option for you to upgrade to a more current operating system I'd suggest using Clamwin () it's the only Anti-Virus program I could find that was:
1: Compatible with Windows 98
2: A program I've had experience with before
3: Free (wasn't a requirement, but a perk)

That's really strange, their website says it's not compatible with windows 98... I suppose they just wont certify it's compatibility, but it will work with the right updates, good luck.
