Hi Xander117,

You should do a boot time scan with avast!

(In Win 98 this is not possible- boot into safe mode before scanning- hit F8 while booting.)

Right click the avast! globe and select Start avast! Antivirus.

avast! will do a memory scan: if it finds malware in memory, it will prompt you to do a boot time scan: accept this and reboot.

If avast! doesn't find anything in memory, schedule a boot time scan. (Click the button at the top left of the avast! silver console and select Schedule boot time scan from the drop-down menu.)

If you haven't done so already, it would also be a good idea to download and run Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy to look for any spyware on your system.

Be sure to update both programs before running. Run both programs in safe mode- tap F8 while booting.
