Windows-98 compatible virus scanner

by pmorrisn - 9/28/06 3:04 PM

I recently gave my old Windows-98 PC to a friend, and he's contracted a virus. I can wipe the drive and reinstall, but he needs to be running a virus scanner afterwards. Problem is, all the commercial ones seem to require XP. Can anyone recommend a good one that runs on 98?

Thanks!
