It works just fine for my newsgroups requirements.

Upgrading for its own sake is a mug's game.

You may want to review the laundry list of vulnerabilities that outdated software can expose your PC to. It's really a "best practices" question.

But I use the browser as well. Many websites will not be handled correctly by Netscape 4.x, and, in my case, caused the application to freeze. Also, using an insecure OS like Win 98 doesn't help matters either.

Thats commercial towing. Any major highway in the USA is chocked full of commerical trailers daily year round. I'm not sure what your point is. There are far more recreational trailers in the USA than in the UK. No comparison.

Perhaps you can enlighten me what vulnerabilities exist reading newsgroups.

I use Opera for web browsing.

My AV is set to auto-update ( it normally does so daily ) and I'm using a recent version of Zone Alarm.

Obviously an older browser won't handle websites with all the clutter features that exist now.

I use Opera for browsing.

What's so insecure about W98(SE) btw ?

Graham

Given nearly 5x the population that's hardly surprising.

Graham

If by that you mean on Windows-XP I'd agree. Otherwise, not so much as you might think.

If you're running XP you're vulnerable just by being connected to the net even if you're not doing anything. New vulnerabilities come out all the time and it takes MS a few days at least to fix them. And that's being kind.
