Does anyone know if a system running an older version of Windows, specifically 95 or 98, would be susceptable to recent malware like Wannacrypt that we've been hearing so much about lately? I have a 98SE system that I've just rebuilt, and in the past I've used network shares to move files around as it's a little more convenient that USB drives (no front USB on this machine 😜). For now I've not installed my network drivers, but I would like to.
I imagine the networking might have the same vulnerabilities, but then there's the question of whether the virus could even run once it got in. I don't have much to lose beyond my Crimson Skies saves, but still, enquiring minds need to know / reassurance.
