McAfee dat update invalid

I went to the McAfee site tonight to download a new virus definition file (it had been 21 days since last update). It downloaded normally, but when I clicked on it to install it, I got this message:

"4074updt.exe is not a valid Win 32 application."

Downloaded again. Same result.

I've updated dat files a dozen or more times since I got my XPS-T600 in September 1999, and I've never had this problem before. I'm running Windows 98SE.

I have read a lot of negative stuff about McAfee on this forum but thought I'd dodged the bullet. Maybe not. Is this my excuse to upgrade to Norton?
