Hey I just remembered that I can mute users, what a relief!
Life? Don't talk to me about life.

thanks, i didnt knew i could do that here.
How does that work? If muted poster's post is the last in the thread, it shows thread as not having new messages? And hides the muted poster's posts?

No I think it still tells you that there are new posts, but it just shows the muted poster as a line item like so:
<shit poster's username>, whom you muted, made this post. Display this post
"Display this post" is a link which lets you see the post if you want to.

Read the room before you spew marketing idioms.

You can try it temporarily on any random frequent poster to see how it works for you. It doesn't (of course) notify the muted user and it's very easy to unmute someone from the control panel -> manage muted users.

However, I can't vouch for Windows 10, as 99.9% of viruses are written specifically for it (and won't run on Windows 98 or lower, requiring you to "update Windows and try again", "install .net 4.5+" or "switch to the x64 edition" ).
I've only ever gotten a virus from my own actions (downloading), even back in dial-up days. I routinely check my connections with Wireshark just in case, it's also a good way to see if you've successfully hindered Microsoft telemetry. I use an older version of it on Windows 98 from when it was called Ethereal, and I haven't had any unusual connections. What browser do you use for 98, or do you use WebOne? I've used WebOne, I tried K-Meleon 9x but it only loaded a few sites properly. JavaScript doesn't seem to work properly on it.
