Why I am not able to update AVG antivirus 7.5 ?

I installed old version of free AVG antivirus 7.5 because my PC is also old, with WIN-98 SE. It was written on site that it will get updates. But the antivirus is not updating itself. What could be the reason ? Can I install some other version on WIN-98 SE which can be updated also ?

    I agree that AVG (cough-cough) probably won't update because it no longer supports Win98; and that you will have a hard time finding one that will.

    HOWEVER, the ClamWin Antivirus will run on Win98.

    Only problem is that it is an on-demand* antivirus only (no *real-time* protection), so you will have to manually update and scan with it.

    Hey dude upgrade your operating system to either vista or Xp .

    Windows 98 is too old now , and many antivirus companies have stopped making antivirus for this operating system .

    Ask a friend who has an installation disc of xp or vista to re-install it for you , or you can try a free operating system like Ubuntu 9.10 .

    You won't need an antivirus for Ubuntu .

    you can order a disc of Ubuntu for free .

    Unfortunately, AVG no longer supports Windows 98SE.

    It's time for a new computer as you will continue to run into this problem with more of your programs.
