The only comment I would add, Samantha, is that I agree with Bob that Avast is probably the most effective protection which is still compatible with Win98; but in my experience it does affect system performance quite noticeably. I don't know anything about Superantispyware, but if you are still running a Win98 era computer, I would certainly give it a run, because it may affect your system performance less severely.
