My computer has windows 98 on it and avast got turned off while i was browsing and i didn't notice

when i turn it on i have about a minute before the memory is overrun by stupid programs  and avast virus scan stops. i've tried to schedule a boot scan but it won't let me, the button is greyed out in the menu... is there a program that i can put on a cd to bootscan with?
