Actually, if you have windows xp get the beta version of the Microsoft Antispyware.
It updates itself, and its doing a great job here.

acutally quite a few are

i work tech support and spyware is a huge problem
98 or XP
xp just gets more

most worms wont be work in 98 but you'll still get spyware

i strongly recommend you get firefox

this is your best solution
