Is XCP on your computer?  Sony has a spyware program built into their cd's.  To find out if Sony's invasive DRM software is in your cd go to start, run then type  cmd /k sc query $sys$aries    If the response is STATE: 4 RUNNING  you have the software.....  Most spyware programs will remove it.
Free anti virus programs I like Grisoft's AVG antivirus.  A small program that runs well.   http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1   Microsoft also has a good one.
Window 98 tip to restore computer... If your win98 operating system is not running right sometimes you can restore the system back to an earlier date by doing this.  Choose Run from the Start menu then type...   scanreg/restore       You can restore your computer to a few earlier dates when it was running good.
For SBC DSL Yahoo users Instead of using the annoying download manager that comes with the software,  you can open up IE Explorer directly by doing this...  Go to control panel and upen up internet options.  Open up connctions and a connection wizard will appear.  Just type in the info asked for and it should work. SBC Yahoo's download manager screwed up my computer too many times for me to trust it anymore.
