Last Versions of Software for Windows 98SE

[Multibooter]

KAV 6.0.2.621 has reached EOL, so the latest database may not be compatible with it. http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=167439

Kaspersky AV v6.0.2.621 updates fine online to the latest current virus signature. See my recent posting #6

The difficulty is to purchase a valid key. With a valid key one can update the ancient signature of the download from filehippo to the current signature. Without a valid key the filehippo download is next to useless. AFAIK there are no valid keys for v6.0.2.621 floating around, their black-listing procedure is hypersensitive, Natalya used to say that they are in the business of selling keys, not software, so they protect their keys accordingly.

BTW, the KAV version 6.0.2.621 which I had downloaded directly from kaspersky in December 2008 had a little more recent signature (19-Dec-2007) than the download still availabale at filehippo (21-Mar-2007). But again, the initial signature updates fine online, provided you have a valid key.

Original links are inactive. Files can be downloaded from the adresses:

ENPM801_H1.ZIP (patch for version 8.01) - ftp://bo.mirror.garr.it/pub/0/symantec/english_us_canada/products/pmagic/pmagic_8/updates/ENPM801_H1.ZIP

ENPM801_H1.ZIP (patch for version 8.01) - ftp://bo.mirror.garr.it/pub/0/symantec/english_us_canada/products/pmagic/pmagic_8/updates/ENPM801_H1.ZIP

ENPM802_H1.ZIP (patch for version 8.02) - ftp://bo.mirror.garr.it/pub/0/symantec/english_us_canada/products/pmagic/pmagic_8/updates/ENPM802_H1.ZIP

1) Both zip files are password-protected, the pw is pm1513

The password is still listed by Symantec at http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/powerquest.nsf/docid/2004038302586462?OpenDocument

No idea why Symantec protects a zip file with a password, and at the same time publishes the password. I test-downloaded ENPM801_H1.ZIP, it's fine. Good work finding a download link of this hard-to-find file.

2) To download http://www.esnips.com/doc/daed094c-10c3-43ad-bc9d-8d05ae460e22/pm801_patch one has to sign in. I would prefer to install v8.01 directly, instead of v8.0 plus then the update to v8.01

3) v8.01 is the last good version by PowerQuest. I would stay away from v8.02, the only addition over v8.01 seems to be the activation stuff by Symantec.

Latest version of Stinger v10.0.1.926 (McAfee Labs) (June 25,2010) still works with Windows 98SE ... it's listed as able to check for 3451 viruses, trojans and variants. Good little program to keep handy for a quick check.

"Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files and scan performance optimizations."

Opera 10.60 has been released but didn't work for me, anyone care to confirm?

If so it looks like 10.54 might be the last working version on 98se.

Opera 10.60 has been released but didn't work for me, anyone care to confirm?

If so it looks like 10.54 might be the last working version on 98se.

Well, there is a thread about that in which there is one guy who claims to be able to run it. Not sure he is to be taken seriously though...

Anyway Operas 10.60 run flawlessly, including HTML5 WebM video, with KernelEx installed.
