AVG Icon stays black & white and shows the internal virus database is out of date. (Windows 98)When you try to update AVG, a box pops up that says "your AVG program already has the latest updates installed and is fully up to date". Effective April 30, 2009, AVG has discontinued support for its version 7.5, which was the only version that would run on Windows 98. I have found just one free antivirus program that will still run on Windows 98, avast!. I have not used this program, as I no longer use Windows 98, but it has good reviews. For more information about avast!, go here. To download avast! as a stand alone program, go here. From the avast! website: antivirus Home Edition is FREE to use but it is necessary to register before the end of the initial 60 day trial period. Following the registration you will receive by e-mail a license key valid for a period of 1 year. After you have downloaded and installed the program, the license key must be inserted into it within 60 days. The registration process is very easy, and it will take you only a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, for Windows 98 users, the end is near. More and more, support for Windows 98 programs is being discontinued.
