That doesn't sound right. Windows 98 had no webservices running by default, so I would say it's actually a rather safe choice.

- alecco 18y agoDrive-by Installs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-by_download http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-by_download This is the wild frontier in computer security right now.

- alecco 18y agoThey aim to old vulnerable versions in particular because the chances to infect are just higher. There are millions of unpatched Windows 98 online, specially in developing countries.
- coffeeaddicted 18y agoMaybe you are right - I don't have any numbers on that. Anyway, most people I know which still run Windows 98 don't do it because they like the system, but because newer Windows versions don't run on their hardware.
