windows xp says it's infected, I have malwarebytes, spybot, antivirus, and it did not reveal problems; I did install spy emergency and it said I had no infections, I went to windows 98se to see if I could get to the internet and find a solution. Windows 98 has problems of its own. I ran spybot on 98 and changed the way Java runs to make Opera run programs not supported by IE. I am able to find this site as well as Major Geeks. Can I download to a cd to run on the xp programs to cure? How can I get xp to run programs I have within the xp system? How do I know what my problems are? I have opted to have my xp and 98 show hidden files as directed by Major Geeks but I have not followed through because I don't know what to do for the next step. Did I jump ahead of Major Geeks when I found this site and joined here also?Starting with 98, is there any hope for this OS? Is there any hope for xp OS? Thanx for your time. My mouse is jumpy on 98 and I have to redirect it to move to the prompt that I want, very carefully. Hope all this makes some sense to you. It makes none to me.

IF you can get your 98 to burn a bootable CD you can try Avira's rescue disk:
