Does it show at all in the BIOS? Do you get any error messages? It should show unless it is bad. All you should have to do is to make sure that your CDROM or CD/RW is the first boot choice and put the disc in and go from there. You can change the boot order in the BIOS. When you bootup, you should see what will take you to the BIOS. F2 or some other F key.

Did you reboot the PC after you ran the MBAM Scan?

You can open Adobe up and go to Help/Check for updates or go to their homepage.

The man/boy ??? is back.

Need a small prayer for Lani as he has a checkup tomorrow with the heart specialist. May need a Bypas or Baloon or Stint.

That is fine. Delete the other post and leave this one. In IE7 you clicl on Tools/Manage Add-ons and that is where you fixed what you fixed.

Marty:
It doesn't happen all the time. Probably after some update of other software. It happen to me once before, but that was a few years ago. I did just install Spybot S&D a few months ago, since AVG discontinued Anti-Spyware 7.5 (Ewido). I really like that program.
I was looking for something else to replace AVG besides Malware-bytes. If it does it again, I'll uninstall Spybot. If I remember correctly, I had Spybot than also. Hmmm!
I'm going to keep a check on SpywareBlaster and see what happens.
Barb
Malwarebytes DOES NOT replace AVG. These are two different programs that do two different things.

First of all, Pete, Honda and Peaches, wow, wow, wow!!!! I love you and thank you so much for all you do!
But, OK, now....because I'm a Noob and therefore thinking of the Noobs, this list could be really overwhelming for my Fellow Noobs.
Maybe catagorizing the different links into sections where one can click a section (with a good simple description of said section) to get all the links might be less overwhelming for a Noob? Meaning if a Noob is looking for a specific thing, they can click the catagory and get the necessary links without their eyes glazing over at such a big list. (yeah, I'm simple....and keeping the simple folks in mind
) Oh Lord, I'm confusing myself...do you understand what I said?
Liz
The section that they are in are kind of self explanatory. They just have different links to different programs that basically do the same in some instances.

I have been advised, as has been said above to remove adaware and spybot from my arsenal as well. MBAM does such a good job that it is what I use after running a scan with Panda. There are other tools that are faster, smaller and better, and with S+D 1.5, I cant get all of my protections locked in when I immunize.

Ir you are using Spybot 1.5, you are about a year behind everybody else. They are up to 1.6.0.30 and they just had another program update last week that brought it up from 1.6.0.28 to 1.6.0.30.
If you will uninstall Spybot, download CCleaner, run it, then run the registry cleanup, then try to install Spybot again.
If you will look at my signature, that is all I run on all my PC's. I have 4 of them all together. 2 of them I have grandkids over here everyday and they get on them all the time. If I have more come over, they use all of them. I have just started running Malwarebytes about a couple of weeks ago and the first time I ran it on all the machines, it found 1 thing and it was on mine and they very seldom us it.

KeyScrambler FREE Works both in IE and FF. Scrambles what you are typing wiht random leters, symbols etc.
-
Here is a neat little FREE program that I would not be without. I have it on my Desktops as well as my Laptop.
-
It was a decent program at one time. Ain't no more.
-
What is in my Signature is what I have on ALL my PC's. I don't remember when I got the last cooty. The grandkids get on mainly 2 of them unless they are all over here. Then it is a free for all and I still don't have enough. They each have their own at their house and they have what I have. I have only had trouble with one of them as they had shut off AVG for some reason. They don't know why. It was a quick fix. All of them are like me and behind a router and use only Window's Firewall.
-
Thanks for that link, it helped a little, I was wondering if you also have a guide for overclocking maybe?
edit: or should i put that as a new tab or try and look for it?
New one.

When we had a PC Club and got an old donated PC in, most of them didn't have much ram in them. We would basically double the ram, reinstall the OS, install AVG, and ZA as the firewall and a couple of programs like Spybot and SpywareBlaster (after doing a complete wipe of the HD). To keep from spending much money on these PC's, we would buy the cheapest ram that we could get as long as it was the same ram or at least backward compatible ( Example, 133 to 100) and go from there. Never had a problem with any of them coming back. I would do the work and then use the PC as my own for a week or so before giving it the OK.

ZA doesn't support 98 anymore. You would have an older version.
-
Are you using a ROUTER? If so, that should be sufficient.
http://majorgeeks.com/Sygate_Personal_Fire...Free_d3356.html Works with 98 and up. I think that it is still FREE.

Martymas wanted the dog, but I had already sold him. Got a bailout, 5 stimulus checks and some cash under the table in unmarked bills.

but at this stage ide like him to remain annon
until he approves of me posting his name
now jd
what sort of fire wall is needed for win 98m
ive already installed a virus scanner
so i need to follow your advice
at least this is giving vista a rest
the machine with 98 is very old
and very crotchety
ive seen that message before
windos will close
it used to happen if you had to many applis at once
those days i used to use alt cntr delete
bugger that
i have to get used to waiting with a bit more patients
with xp you could load avast and adaware both at the same time
but not so with win98
marty
I am always anonymous. The site that I sent you has updates to 98 that you can't get from MS anymore. It has been a while since since I have used any of them.

And also get the latest version of HJT.

Put it on a Floppy or CD and when it asks for it, point to it.

What Browser are you using to download with? If IE, go to Tools/Delete Browsing History and at the bottom, DELETE everything and put a check in the next window that Pops Up. Then click OK and let it finish. Then go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/Disc Cleanup and put a check in ALL the boxes then let it do it's thing. Then try the download again.
