    just to add to Robos info

    you must fix this
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = C:\WINDOWS\system32\searchbar.html

    and this
    F1 - win.ini: run=C:\WINDOWS\..\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\MSINFO\info32.exe
    which is a trojan that can steal passwords etc
    info here

    and
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [winmain] winmain.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Tapicfg.exe] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\tapicfg.exe

    O19 - User stylesheet: C:\WINDOWS\Web\win.def

    O19 - User stylesheet: C:\WINDOWS\default.css (HKLM)

    i would suggest using this to remove some of them
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html

    after fixing these with hijack and running cw shredder reboot into safe mode
    and delete any of the following still left
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\tapicfg.exe
    c:\windows\winmain.exe
    c:\windows\web\win.def
    c:\windows\default.css

    you may need to show hidden system files to find this not sure about 98 but it should be under folder options somewhere

    OK kelb thanks for the info
    im not sure that will remove the trojan though so gkse if the above advice doesnt fix it you need to do this
    should be ok in 98 (long time no see)
    start button--run--type msconfig--enter--look for the win-ini tab at the top of the box and select it -- in the new window look for the line
    run=info32.exe --select it then on the right hand side will be a modify button--use this to delete the info32.exe line so you are just left with run= apply this and ok
    reboot into safe mode check your running applications CTRL-ALT-DEL and make sure its not listed if its there select it and end process -then do a search for this info32.exe and delete it you may need to show hidden system files to do this in a normal window--select tools--folder options and then look for that option it may be slightly different in 98 but it should be obvious what one to select--apply and ok


    as for the other stuff did you run the shredder i advised and if so did you get all the other stuff sorted :)
