I happen to be into collecting and restoring older machines and recently I
came across an old Pentium 166 machine running Windows 95.
I don't have any old versions of antivirus software and am curious to know
what the best antivirus for Windows 95 was or is.
Thanks!

If you want to scan it, use a Live-CD. If it won't boot the

If you want one for historical reasons, f-prot and tbav were
probably the "prettiest" ones..... both used a colored DOS-like
interface.

Back in those days, Norton (2002 and older), McAfee, etc.

I think Norton may have had an AV that worked well at that time,
although I didn't use it.

(not necessarily the only solution - McAfee was around too, I think).
