galahs Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Alright I found this free Virus Detection / Removal software from McAfee that runs on Windows 98. It only finds specific virus so its not a total package but it may have some use.http://vil.nai.com/vil/stingerWhat I like is it is a single .exe so it runs without installation and can run from a usb thumb drive.My question is... are any of the 1,370 threats it detects and heals actually a threat for Windows 9x systems?http://vil.nai.com/vil/stingerStinger 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.Threats it detectshttp://vil.nai.com/vil/Stinger_10_0_1_624_Threats_List.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahs Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Alright, I tested it on Windows 98 and Win98 SE and it runs, but I still don't know if the malware and viruses it detects actually effect Windows 98. Does anyone know?Here is the list of items it detects.http://vil.nai.com/vil/Stinger_10_0_1_624_Threats_List.pdfAnd is anyone willing to test it on Win95 and WinMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
