vespaman Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 hi peeps, a friend of mine having problem with her pc. my guess it's because some trojans/viruses but unfortunatelly i can't really help her out since she lives in other country. the thing that i know of is she's using win98 and since these messages come out, everytime she reboot the pc, she can't open IE, wallpaper becomes active directory and her pc becomes slower and slower each day. i did give her Opera browser meanwhile i'm waiting for you guys/girls to give us solutions ;) i've recommended her to check the "Neowin Guide to Removing Spyware" page but it seems she's afraid of installing Opera she thinks it will cause more damage to her pc. thank you :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/175906-windows-98-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mando Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 right first of all id say 95% certain its virus or a trojan. For one her copy of Nortons Antivirus is ANCIENT! The icon in the clock area is either NAV2000 or 2001/2002. I also notice she uses Kazaa so id say without seeing the PC for myself that shes contracted p2p viruses. trust me old NAv`s just isnt up to detecting newer worms and viri that are rife on the Kazaa networks etc. :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/175906-windows-98-problems/#findComment-2246565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aasum Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 do "sfc /scannow" or just have her reformat n reinstall windows after she backs up wat she needs :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/175906-windows-98-problems/#findComment-2246655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
