Quick overview:
Windows 98 still has many bugs and problems as well as bottlenecks that affect system performance and stability. Microsoft only becomes aware of this after a while and gradually brings out programs (so-called updates) that eliminate the problem. Windows Tweaks now presents the most important updates for your Windows and its components.
The new Internet Explorer 6.0
It already had its premiere in Windows XP and is also available for Windows 98. It has been further developed and offers the user increased security, comfort and a faster speed when surfing the Internet. I highly recommend replacing the existing IE 4.0 with the current 6 version
The current security update forr Internet Explorer 6.0
Even the new IE 6.0 still has a few gaps that resourceful hackers can break through. With the help of this update, these are completely plugged and thus made inaccessible. So that you can protect your data and your system, you should definitely install this patch.
Enable dial-in via the dial-up network at T-Online
Microsoft shows special service friendliness and offers all T-Online customers detailed instructions so that they too can dial in via the dial-up network - pictures and text help you so that you don't have to use the T-Online software.
Make passwords for packed files secure
Windows 98 Plus! offers the function of compressing files and folders. However, it is also possible to set up a password, which increases security. Unfortunately, Windows 98 stores this password in a file that can be spied on by malicious users. The following update fixes this problem.
Domain passwords can be spied out
Windows 98 computers working in a network can be spied on. This patch prevents this vulnerability.
