Re: Assisance with Win98
 

Ok, I'm double posting becuase I wanted a definite way to distinguish between my typing and the log. I'm pretty about some of these things being malware realated, but I'm not sure about everything. Anyways, I would like to thank everyone involved in this for helping me out! You all have no idea how thankfull I am (Stop by our pits at a competition, ask for the pit captain; I'd like to shake all of your hands) (Or I might visit your pits myself). Anyways, keep up the good work, and thanks in advance!

The B2S and Monitor.exe are both not good. QT and Real aren't really bad.. they're just useless. Actually, Real is probably bad. Nothing wrong with QT, just useless :) http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/browse.php is the site I use for figuring out what the programs are. Usually tells if you if they're malicious or not. There are more things in that log you can safely remove.. and if you read it, you should be able to figure out what they do.

Looks like the major problems are definitely the BHOs and Toolbars. Clean all that stuff out, and let us know how it goes. (I know there's still a lot of stuff in this list that's technically alright, but there's no harm in removing them anyway, better safe than re-infected :) Besides, removing the extra buttons can decrease IE load time, and the DPF's (IE plugins/activex- shockwave, quicktime, windows update, etc.) will reinstall themselves as you need them.

Re: Assisance with Win98
 

Wow, problem solved (unless there's something that HJT missed or something), thanks to everyone that helped out! (If there's a quick way to check if everythings gone, do tell). I didn't even realize half of the stuff on the computer was on the computer...

Anyways, thanks a million (or three-hundred and forty-one) times over,
