I have a HARDWIRED firewall and router....do I really need Adware? (I read in the reviews one person said it screws up win98....which I have)

I can't answer your question about firewalls, but I use Ad-Aware on my Win98SE system, and I've never had a problem with it. The only warning I've heard about it is that it can possibly remove things that should be there (associated with legitimate programs), but nothing having to do with the OS. I rarely have a need to run it, as I'm so careful about what I download and run. But it has caught a couple of minor things in the past.
