Comment:
Apparently, I goofed earlier today in my posting. I am helping a neighbor with their computer. Keep getting page cannot be displayed message on many (most sites). Yesterday I ran in normal & safe mode the following
spybot search & destroy
lavasoft ad-aware
grisoft avg anti virus.
Yesterday I talked twice with the techs at Alltel (their dsl isp/phone service) and they suggest that perhaps the computer has been hijacked.
I also had trouble getting the win temp files to delete, did it manually, set 2 different restore points. Still have the trouble.
I have run hijack this, and tried to send the report thru to you, but guess I was putting the cart before the horse, sorry.
If you want it, after the weekend I will be able to send it to you.
Thanks for your time/trouble!!!!

Reply: (edit)I'm a bit confused....how did you set restore points in win98?
If it is win98se you can try scanreg /restore (Choose a backup to restore.)
If you think the PC has been hi-jacked try this free
On-line Spyware Scan
and also try
Stinger
That may work for you. Good Luck Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Reply: (edit)Sorry, this is on my neighbors sony vaio (sp)
running XP home edition. I didn't realize that everything is connected to my old laptop that I have been working on this summer. I also have a desk top with XP home edition. I take the laptop with us in our motorhome and use my cell phone as a modem when we are travelling (4-6 months a year). Slow but nice to be able to do internet from the coach.
Anyway, I appreciate the help!!!

Thanks SOOOO much
