Windows Messanger & Windows 98
So I'm at my parents house on my old shitty Compaq with Windows 98... It's pop up hell. And from what I understand theres nothing you can do about Windows Messanger when you've got Windows 98. This true?

i may be wrong, but i'm prtety sure that win98 dosen't use the messenger service. have you done a spyware/adware check to make sure there aren't any malicious programs running in the background?

Quick search says that that homepage is a symptom of CoolWebSearch, a nasty little piece of crap. You can get the removal tool here:

I think I had downloaded that, only to discover that Zip isn't installed. Or something. I'll look into it more when I go back home...
Trying to convince them just to upgrade the damn thing.

I swear, I should make a cd that has the following:
-Spybot: Search and Destroy -Adaware -AVG -Zone Alarm -A free archiving program I just had to do this with my fiancee's computer because they were having the same issues on their computer. A quick run of Adaware fixed'm right up, along with a scan with AVG and they were as good as new. |

CWShredder. It is specifically made to get rid of browser hijacking spyware. Ive used it to get rid of many a piece of spyware that Adaware/Spybot missed.
