    I've recently been battling a problem with Virtumonde on my Win 98. I'm self-taught but not entirely a novice. I run Ad-Aware SE on it and delete the 2 files it finds, only to have them rebuild themselves (I assume when I connect to the net). I've switched to Mozilla b/c of it; it seemed to be the cause of IE crashing on me. Mozilla works well, I just don't like the idea of having this pain on my PC. The Ad-Aware files it finds are:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:msevents.msevents\
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:msevents.msevents.1\

    I dl'ed Symantec's program and it found nothing (but that was after I deleted with Ad-Aware), but I hadn't heard about the steps after with it, re-booting in safe mode and using a killvundo file. Is there any fix for it in Win 98? Thanks so much for your time.

    Sincerely, Ryan
