For your info one of the recent worm attacks did NOT effect 98/98SE, while it killed tons of 2000/XP boxes. This was most likely due to the differences in the old os vs. new os.
Typical Micro$oft for not supporting the older os as promised. I dont upgrade they dont make $$$.
Wish someone would hold them accountible for the bugs in their os that allow worms, viruses, etc.
Heck you'd sue someone if your car crashed as much as your computer does!
