I don't understand your question (we apparently have a language barrier).

Are you asking whether spyware will infect Win95 or whether there are some

antispyware programs available to remove malware from Win95?

1. Answer to question 1: you betcha. Win95 has absolutely no security

whatsoever. It is certainly vulnerable to viruses and non-viral malware.

OTOH, some viruses/malware may assume XP or Vista and not install on Win95.

I wouldn't count on this, though.

2. Answer to question 2: I don't know if any current malware removal tools

will work on Win95. It is doubtful. You can try hand-cleaning, but you

should be prepared to wipe and clean-install.

If you need more help, then please post back with a better explanation of

what you really want to know. Or you may prefer to post in one of the many

Spanish-language MS newsgroups. Here's a list of all the public MS

newsgroups so you can find the ones with .es in the name.

Let me guess, you work in a technology museum and mistakenly

started using one of the displays? style_emoticons/D

Spyware can be as simple as a cookie, or as complicated as

almost any other program. So, yes - Win95 and IE 3 should

support spyware generally.

???? I guess you weren't asking a question seriously, so I'll just have to

ignore you.

Have a nice day.

All versions of Windows can house spyware.

All versions of DOS (PC, IBM, MS, whatever) can house spyware.

All versions of NIX can house spyware.

All operating systems can house spyware.

Did you have a specific question in mind but forgot to ask?

Well, at least this string of words make sense and are in accordance with

grammatical rules of the language style_emoticons/
