Concur on AV & AS. I'm very happy with AVG on my Win98 box. Also have Spybot 
S&D and Ad-Aware (you see my budget?) on it, but they both run fairly slow, 
and Ad-Aware seems to really drag the system during a scan. But keyloggers 
scare the h*ll out of me, so I keep them up-to-date and scan on a regular 
basis.
