I doubt you have anything to worry about. Windows 95 is basically bullet
proof. I know Kat still uses it, and I'm sure she swears buy it.
Upgrading to '98 SE might not hurt, its one of the *only* Microsoft
upgrades I'd ever suggest. As for Netscape 4.04.... geeze, I remember
using 3.91! Again, its kid tested and mother approved. I don't remember
getting spyware and viruses when I had Win95 and Netscape.
The problem of constantly upgrading software isn't to fix existing
'undocumented issues' (as Mr. Gates likes to put it) but to add new
'features' which open up security flaws and ultimately kill the speed
and reliability of the app on slower, older systems. Like my dad always
said, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I know I'm still using
utilities on Linux that are years old and work great.
