Now, depending on what you want, Norton can cost anywhere from $35 to $125. You can find it online at www.symantec.com.
What kind of internet connection do you have? Dial up, DSL, or Cable?

If you do and it works with 98, back up your stuff to there. Then you can run an FDISK to combine the partitions the right way.
The fact that you have dial up only means you really don't need a firewall.
I use DSL so I have both.
Do you know what the difference is between an antivirus and a virus scanner?

Virus spyware scanners only scan for viruses when you run them manually.
They scan and find these things on your hard drive, then give you the option to remove them.
Antiviruses contually run in the background and prevent viruses and spyware from coming through in the first place.
Symantec actually finds, tells you, and removes them for you.
It's a shame that your flash drive doesn't like 98. Ever thought of upgrading to 2000 or XP?

Well, once you get the space of the partition increased you shouldn't have an issue with installing an antivirus.

So you might be able to get away with XP on that thing. But I would upgrade it if you can, because it'll run sluggish.
And you're very welcome.

edit: I know that it is possible to get NTFS functionality in Win98, but it doesn't work when installing from the install disc if the disc is older than the update.

Speaking from the studies of someone who continues his studies to become A+ certified, I have a book for reference.

Even when the system is not using all of your real, physical RAM, it still uses some virtual memory just as a placeholder for anything that may immediately need it.
