I run a dual boot system on my laptop: WIN98 Ver1 on "C" and WINXP on
"D".

I have AVG Anti Virus running in WINXP and have the Windows Firwall
switched on.
Do I need to install an Anti Virus and Firewall under WIN98 Ver1 as
well?

Yes, absolutely.

Similarly if the Spybot and Adaware programs are installed in WINXP
will they also monitor the WIN98 Ver 1 drive?

No. You need to install them on both operating systems.
