1).is there a avast for 98 because when i go to there site i don't see them say the system requirements or does it work for all system versions

2).and for some reason spybot s&d says scan abort by user when i did not even press the stop button is this a bug in spybot s&d it happened every time i did a scan on my windows 2000 computer i had to scan in safe mode it seemed like that was the only way to get a complete scan without it being aborted.and when the scan was completed it found alexa related and then i was able to scan without it being aborted i don't see why it would stop the scan if it was just for advertisement(at least that what it says in the description)

3).why is wildtanget considered something bad if it is a built in software that comes with every hp computer. that manages the computer and it's components

4).what does it mean when spybot finds something in it's scan in advance mode and it is colored green if it does not pose a threat then why does spybot list it

1:On this page,at the end of the page, under platforms,Windows 98 is listed,so I'd assume Avast would work on Windows 98.

(But,if the User Abort error has stopped,you probably wouldn`t want to bother,unless it appears again.)
3.Please see this thread about Wild Tangent:
