Buying at ebay a sealed retail box of old v6 seems to be the easiest and most economical solution. specific to major v6, v7, v8, v9) and a US distributor for Kaspersky whom I asked did not know where to get a v6 key from. The major problem is finding an activation key for v6 activation keys are version specific (i.e. Old v6.0.2.621 is the last version which works under Win98 and which can get signature updates. To prevent any program updates which may not work under Win98 I did not select to update right away after installation instead I rebooted and then, before the 1st update: Settings (top right of screen) -> click on Update on left -> de-select Update application modules. The activation code in the box worked fine for a 1-year-subscription and KIS 6 updates & scans fine. Since the trial v6.0.2.621 activated ok for 30 days, I bought at ebay a sealed retail box of old KIS 6, they go for $10-15 including shipping. I have now installed the on-demand scanner part of Kaspersky Internet Security v6.0.2.621, downloaded from their website. v4.5 since then loads with an error msg: 'Duplicate names are defined in anti-virus bases. KAV v4.5 stopped working properly under Win98SE after an online update early December 2008. Did any user of other builds of v6.0 experience difficulties in getting virus updates? Or were they automatically updated to v6.0.2.621? Kaspersky Internet Security v6.0.2.621 It's Oct.15 now, old KAV v4.5 still updates its virus signatures Ok. I will cross off items from this list as they are added to the main list. ONGD - FREE - SUMo (Software Update Monitor) 2.4.1.67. ONGD - FREE - Find And Run Robot 2.45.01.

LAST - FREE - Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 SP1. LAST - FREE - EVEREST Home Edition 2.20.405. LAST - FREE - Avant Browser 11.0 build 46. JanuEdit: These have all been added to the first post in the thread.

For the 'LAST' programs (other than Java), these were the last versions I got to work on my 98SE machine. Here are some updates and additions that I've tested.
