That's funny. Win98, being no longer supported or popular, is not that
vulnerable. Find an older copy of Zonealarm (I have such a copy) and
download AVG, use Spybot and Adaware and you have a secure system
(relatively speaking, compared to the more popular XP).
If the OP wants to use Win98, it is a perfectly serviceable system. Just
don't expect everything new to work. But if the OP just wants a platform
to
run various flavors of Logo, as stated, do you know of any that refuses to
run in Win98?
