The subject pretty much says it all. Is there an anti virus that works with
NT?
I would ask in the NT group, but it is dead.

These claim to be compatible with NT 4.0

Avast

I still have one machine setup with NT4 and AVG7.5 (the free version)
works fine with it

That's because the OS is dead.
Don't rely on AV software as there are no more security patches for the OS and all the
software in the world will not help to prevent vulnerability exploitation.

If you want to use use NT4 fine. Put it behind a hardware based FireWall. Even a NAT
Router would be better.

I just hang mine right out on the net only I have a big sign
that says "THIS IS NOT A REALLY REALLY OLD EXPLOITABLE WINDOWS BOX SO GO AWAY"

Seems to work fine.
