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. http://aumha.org/nntp.htm Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

Guest FromTheRafters Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 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.

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? Quote
