anti virus software for Windows 98

Does anyone know of any good (& cheap) anti virus software for windows
98 for virtual machines running 98?

Most of the ones out there now don't work on 98. I need to protect my
virtual machine.

When I was used to run Win98SE,
I used Avast! AV, free for personal use,
yearly free registration required.

http://www.avast.com/

It run without any issues.

I used it also later on W2K SP4,
now runiing on W2K guest in VirtualPC 2007
and on host OS Vista64 SP1.
