98 boot up problems
 

When I boot up my computer. I get errors that
say "explorer has performed and illegal
operation","sbserv has performed and illegal
operation",error starting program "the rundll.32.eve file
is linked to missing export shell32.dll:122","the
c:\windows\system\shell32.dll file appears to be
corrupt", "the symneti.dll file is linked to a missing
export shell32.dll:shellexecuteexa", and an "mstask error"

All of these errors come up and I can't do any thing
else. Just a background picture comes up and that's it.

Jeff,

I would boot to Dos or use a Win98 startup diskette and run
Scandisk. Just enter Scandisk, when it's finished take the option to
run a surface scan.

Let us know.

Better update defs & run a virus scan. You may need to do so from DOS...
............Quote....................
1) Formal av scan for traditional malware (worms, viruses, trojans)
- see http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/virtest.htm
- can download DOS-based av from:
- www.f-prot.com (free, updatable)
- www.sophos.com (free for evaluation, ?no free updates)
- www.nod32.com (free for evaluation, ?no free updates)
- ensure the antivirus scanner you use is up to date
- don't rely on Windows- or online-based av scanners for this

2) Informal utilities for commercial malware (spyware, adware etc.)
- Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.de (free, updatable)
- Spybot 1.3 from where Google leads you (free, updatable)
- CoolWebSearch Shredder as per Google (free, get new copy)
- ensure these tools are up to date

Update definitions & check for viruses, and...
