Anyways no sense in reminiscing about Win 98
I still have one machine running the operating system, really only because my bookkeeping software won't run on anything more recent than Win ME.
Haven't tried it in Compatibility Mode, as my accounting software is not something I'm willing to experiment with...
Also, here is a Kaspersky Forum thread where RejZor, whom I know from other security forums as an experienced malware researcher says:
One of those two options ought to do the trick for you, I should think.
That works.
I didn't even get to try out KAV as I've never seen an AV bring my PC to it's knees like KAV did. The resident shield made everything pretty much useless on my system at the default recommended settings, just rebooting to get into safe mode to uninstall it was a long process. This completely surprised me because my system isn't exactly a slouch in the specification department with a 3.20 Ghz P4 w/MT, and 1 GB Ram.
Hmm, that's not good...
Can't help you there, I'm afraid; It's been some time since I last gave any version of KAV a whirl.
I mainly heard good things about it though...

Funny how some software can affect different machines.The latest post in the Netveda thread states how installing Netveda trashed his pc requiring a reinstall.
If only people would use a decent backup system such as True Image or Ghost they could save a lot of grief.
Yet here on my pc both KAV 6 and Netveda are running fine alongside each other.
Quite a while ago I tried out KAV 5 which I found slowed down all aspects of my system.P4,3 ghz,1 g-ddr.
Since trialling Kav 6 and after tweaking a bit I reckon it's one of the fastest and best I have tried.
The scan only new and changed files is great.
Netveda and Kav are running alongside each other with no probs,with the taskbar showing their icons nearly instantly at startup.
Kav looks after the application control side of things through proactive defense with Netveda looking after apps connecting to the net.
I have web filtering disabled in both Netveda and Kav as I run FF sandboxed and web filtering in either app can slow browsing a tad.
Have heard some good things about another security app - Geswall,which I'm going to try out soon.

That's so true! Possibly drivers, BIOS, or some other proprietary system stuff from a PC manufacturer.
I know this is the last Dell PC I'll ever own as some of the issues from my first Dell PC way back in 1998 still plague me on a totally different system with a completely different OS, That issue being it pukes on playing commercial PC games without regard of any version of ATI display drivers I install, thank goodness for my PS2 otherwise I'd be without video games.
