A flash drive thingy I think.. stick in usb port and load files in/on it..?? $20.00... I was thinking that when I can get a new one... but then you/we may take any virus with it... I'm just not savvy enough...with my luck I'll get a super comp and add my win 98 viruses to it....
DOH......!!!

You can download a free anti-virus. Search AVG, download it, and use it. It's better than having no protection.

I would suggest purchasing Norton Anti-Virus for $60 or whatever. It's worth it to have a computer that runs smoothly.

Another solution would be to use a system restore command. This will revert all of your files, folders, programs, etc., back to what they were at an earlier date. This would eliminate any changes in the registry, and whatever is on your computer. The drawback is that you will also lose all of your information that has been added since the last system restore point.
 
Wake N' Bake, Today is a great day, no work, my only responsibility today is finding a new timer and swinging by IKEA.... all stoned... all day :)
 
norton blows =P ... 60$ every year ... pfffffffffft

I have Avast free... I tried a AVG one and half way through install it said my system isn't compatible, same when I tried to install XP..20 min in it said missing some file.. ...(I have win 98.).. I'll keep with this till I can get another... the norton is ranked lower than kasparoff(sp?)......
plus $60.00 is hard when on pension... I know I'll eventually need one for a better comp, but not this piece of shit...
 
Oh, you poor baby.Maybe you should work out, so next time you have two medals,you can lift them,lol.

Norton is a resource hog.And it takes a special tool to dig it out of your system.I use avira.It's free.And some viruses actually place themselves in your system restore...so that's why you have to turn it off, restart, and turn it back on after cleaning some malware.It's called a "flush."

Have you tried re-installing Win98? That should take care of the missing file that XP needs, not to mention it will fix some of your registry errors.

Norton is the only one i know about. its alright. made my computer slow for a little while, but its running great again.

I have a home made copy here..but I'm scared if I get 1/2 way through it'll ask for product code or some shit and I'll be toast....:shock:.. better some than nothing...
I have XP with code and all.. but no SP2... I wish I knew all this... when I installed mozilla I was going to remove IE program in control panel till my program designer friend said that will screw me big time... I wish he lived around here now... when I say I know 0 I mean it.. I've only used a comp for stuff besides games for 15 months and mostly self taught & fucked...:shock:
 
shit man

you should be able to find a product code very easily online.

i could even give you mine if we still have win98 laying around somewhere
 
No sweat... as I said I'm thankful (even if grumpy) to be able to do this.......
got good grow info... made good friends, saw some brawls...
a bit of "FUCKING SHIT BASTARD MACHINE" is a small price for what I've reaped......:):):)



















stupid comp....;)
 
this is a drive by post...just hoping everyone is well here at RIU and hoping my hectic schedule slows down soon....peace
