As software companies are making their programs Vista compatible, some are abandoning Windows 98. But I believe these still work with 98.
Anti Spyware- Spybot Search and Destroy available here:

Anti Virus- Avast 4 Home available here:

If you want a firewall, ZoneAlarm discontinued support, but you can download a previous version that works with 98, just don't update it. Available here:

A word about 98, it will function as an operating system, but there have been no security updates issued for it for a couple of years or more. I would not recommend doing any online financial transactions with it.
