Best AV+firewall for an old Win98 PC?

Hi

what do you think is the best AV+firewall product for my PC?

It's so old that it's not just outside but well over the horizon from
the kind of PCs the latest software is designed for:

Win 98 SE
PII 300 MHz
224Mb RAM

Now this setup runs like lightning - and I've got old versions of
Office, Soundforge, Cubase etc that do everything I want. I've just
tried Norton Internet Security 2005, though....
how to turn an old but well-matched PC/OS into something that does a
good impression of a Sinclair ZX81...

AVG AV+Firewall looks better - but after my Norton experience I'm
suspicious of their "compatible with Win95/Win98" claim...

has anyone run recent AV software on this kind of setup?

cheers

Seb
