Can you suggest another free anti virus?

Grisoft stopped support for Windows 98 when they released AVG Free 8.0. As of the end of April 2009 Grisoft have stopped updating the older version 7.5 so there now is no free AVG product that protects Windows 98.

Avast! is the only free Windows 98 compatible virus checker we know of so you should download that, uninstall AVG then install Avast!

I’m using win 2000 profesional. it works OK with usb flash drives.

The problem is the drivers for the SD card reader. Windows 2000 is particularly buggy with flash media as it was only becoming coming at the time of it’s release.

It’s unlikely you’ll find updates from the manufacturer for Win2k and the device itself is probably ten years old. Although a visit to the Windows Update
