Freezes

[dom]

Im using Windows 98, and for the past couple of weeks, it
has been freezing up constantly.... to the point of
ridiculous!!.... The only way to get out of it, is to re-
boot, and sometimes, even then, it freezes on the opening
Windows screen, and you have to reboot again. I even
freezes up while the Screen Saver is going...I just cant
figure out why its doing this every few
minutes...
Thanks

Start with a full scan with an up to date anti virus program.

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.
