Unable to download antivirus software, adaware, spydoctor.

[Mark]

I can't download any of the free virus checkers or any of
the other programs. I am running Mcafee firewall but the
virus program has expired. I have tried a couple of
different ones. Avast and Mcafee but am unable to download
or check to see if I have a virus. Any ideas?
Thanks

Considering that Norton 360 is for compatible WinXP and above and not Win9x/ME, and your
posting from China, this is nothing but spam.
