Spyware SOS	by evilsysadmin	2005-03-16 08:35:20
I have a computer running win98 that has some odd spyware/malware on it. Any time you go to sownload or run an antispyware program it will shut it down. If firefox or IE does a search for a spyware program it will shut the browser down. Spybot will not run, it will close the program. Any ideas or anyone seen this before? Even when you try to install an anti-spyware app it will continually pop up a close program window and you have to cancel it every 5 seconds. Ad-Aware from Lavasoft runs but wil;l not find anything wrong.
