Can you help me find freeware for Win 95?

I am incline to agree with the last answer, your computer has probably gotten bogged down with Ad-ware and Spyware and/or Viruses. Please try and clean first before you decided to install a new OS.

As for an OS system, if you're not happy with XP, I suggest you try Ubuntu ( http://www.ubuntu.com/ ) because what makes you sure you'll be happy with a previous version of Windows. I know Ubuntu has it's own software. And since it isn't a major OS like Windows it's less likely to get attacked by viruses or malware. It's either that or get a Mac.

You can use SpywareNoMore.

As we all know Computer hackers seeking financial gain rather than thrills or notoriety are increasingly flooding the Internet with malicious software code (spyware, adware, key loggers, trojans). They are infecting computers with highly sophisticated programs that record surfing habits, bank passwords and other key financial data and send them to crooks over the Internet. These programs can be hard to spot, disguised in downloads such as toolbars, search engines, browser accessories, screen savers and other seemingly helpful utilities.

SpyNoMore anti-spyware safeguards your identity and restores system performance through fast, smart and powerful spyware protection.

Try include keyword "old version" when searching.

I found interesting site like http://www.oldapps.com/ and http://www.oldversion.com/

They host both the oldest and newest version, such as firefox : http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php

Find the version that will run for windows 95 (for example http://www.oldapps.com/internet_explorer.php, not all software are marked for their compatibility)

I think that windows 95 softwares are abandonware, so try include keyword "abandonware" when searching.

I found http://www.mywindowspage.com/

For reference : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

Well, i think that windows always try to retain compatibility for software for earlier windows. So, if it Windows 95, software from windows 3.x will be compatible.

I think choosing windows 98 is better than windows 95, because windows 98 is stable modification of windows 95.

I had EEE PC also with Windows XP inside, it was slow, and i'am sure it was because the processor was 900 MHz. Normal computers have clock between 1.8 - 2.4 GHz

Hope that helps. I'am using Windows 7, with earlier windows experience..

her i thought this one was small? maybe it running slow because of add war or virus or security .not sure any thing will work on win95 because i had a horrible time with Millenium which was after that
