I have put avast on about 20 of my friends 98 machines and not one problem yet If your system is full of malware,a complete format is the only way to go if you ask me. All of the programs I listed in my post are the ones I use for cleaning+protection.
I thought the default for avast is to move to vault(safe method)

unless he has a bootable OEM 98,he will need a startup disk.
