Some weird things have been happening to my computer lately. Programs seem to be missing, folders have changed views without me changing them, like the bars along the top. I just ran AdAware 4.5 and it didnt find anything. I am going to fully scan my computer for viruses later. Anyone know why this could be happening???? :confused:

Check for Backdoor Subseven Trojan! Sounds like a good possibility. Run all your security defenses and see what turns up. :eek:

I am using Win98 second edition, I noticed this start happening about two days ago. I download a lot of things so I couldn't tell you what I just downloaded.

goto http://www.antivirus.com and use the free scanner. in most cases it's better than most av scanners And get a good firwall. i recomend Tiny Personal Firewall http://www.tinysoftware.com but if your new to firewalls Get Zonealarm http://www.zonelabs.com

Thanks for the info!!!! I solved the problem. It turned out to be a virus and when I removed the virus the computer seemed to go back to normal. :D :D
