Grin Re: Frusrated with compromised computer (Moved from Win2k)

Hi again,

I have been using my old computer with Windows 98 on it. I am not having major problems, but a couple of small things are bothering me.

One--I sometimes cannot go to the website http://www.google.com. It says that the window cannot be displayed. I can go to gmail and my internet account though. This computer hasn't been used for awhile, but that is the reason I stopped using it. Any thoughts?

Also, a toolbar suddenly came onto my computer at the top of the screen. It only appear when I place the mouse at the top to open folders. Then, it disappears.

I also downloaded a file, just a jpg, that I sent through my email which checks for viruses. The computer will not allow me to delete this file, which I also can't open. Why would that happen?

I don't think it is likely that this computer is infected. I only used it for email. I never downloaded except that one file. Nothing really bad is happening, but you never know.

I also know there is no support for Windows 98, but this forum has it. Is that right? Sorry for the long message. I did a defrag tonight just because it sometimes helps. It was in obvious need of it. Does anyone know anything about CCleaner? I have not used it and won't until I get feed back.

Thanks,
foursavages
