Lou,
Just running low on Ideas...buddy. This thing acts like the ContextPlus/Apros infection...and the tool we use to discover it and clean it off is only for XP/2000 systems. That said...it still leaves traces on a Windows 98 system..which you seam to be void of. It uses a 'Rootkit' to hide itself...but can't do that on your system as it's not NT based.
