Spyware-adware removal?vista
Windows 98 is no longer safe as Microsoft has officially ended support. It is an easy target for hackers and I highly advise against using Windows 98 for any banking/personal informational purposes.
No single anti-spyware application is perfect so I recommend using Ad-aware and Spybot (they are free). Other free anti-spyware programs would be AVG Anti-spyware (formally Ewido), Super Anti-spyware and SpywareBlaster.
I strongly recommend using FireFox, it's a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites. I also recommend CCleaner which is a free system optimization and privacy tool.
Webroot Spy Sweeper is rated as the best, but it's not free (see the Consumer Search source).
