| 448717 | 2006-04-23 04:37:00 | If I use the latest Firefox or Opera, and have updated antivirus and firewall, do I need updates and patches for Windows 98se to give me security for internet banking? | worl (8599) | ||

| 448722 | 2006-04-23 05:33:00 | there are quite a lot of patches for 9x that you should have in. useing IE on the net without them is postivly dangerous. there are still virus/worms and hackers that exploit the old holes. AV and firewalls help but than again most infections are self inflicted so having the known holes pluged certainly helps. |

| 448723 | 2006-04-23 05:55:00 | If u try and get the updates from the MS Download site (they may or may not appear on the Windowsupdate site) . There are 3-4 that no longer exist . I downloaded the 98 / 98SE updates today - about 12 . 9mb (not for me), just to keep for whoever . BUT some updates didnt exist . |

| 448726 | 2006-04-23 22:47:00 | Not one person has yet mentioned you should be using at least 2 anti-spyware programs. Run them every couple of days and update them often. That will catch any keyloggers or other malware you might get. Your anti-virus program won't. Read the FAQ here for various choices on which ones to get. |
