I see that you don't really understand what was being conveyed in my
post.

I don't run any AV software on my win-98 PC's.  Haven't for 8 or so
years.  AV software is useless.  Browser exploits just bounce off my
system and die.  Email attachments just sit there and I handle them with
ease. 

The AV results I posted were from Virus Total.  I don't have to run AV
software on my machine to know how poor a job the entire industry does
with these current samples.  Have you never heard of Virustotal.com? 
Have you no idea that you can submit suspicious files to a website that
can check the file against 50+ different AV software programs?

Sometimes I click on them, just to watch them crash or give some sort of
error as they try to perform some heap-spray, buffer over-run or
privledge escalation that has zero effect on win-98.

Enjoy your NT-based version of Windoze.  NT - Where the vulnerabilities
go in before the name goes on.
