Maybe its my imagination but after installing AVAST Free Home edition, Spybot, Firefox and Thunderbird... onto win98se I have enjoyed a very stable system. Only thing about spybot I never understood is that Tea time setting which I disable because I don't know how it works.
Now I have a second box with XP which I only installed AVAST on and am wondering about using Spybot on it too or looking for something that I can understand how to use better. Also installed Firefox but no email yet, may not install email. IE opened up by ASUS Update Link and I freaked because I think IE and its email program had a lot to do with all my win98se problems and haven't used them since Firefox a few years back.
