Boot into safe mode (look up "safe mode" in Windows Help). Then run your virus scan.
I rebooted, but it frooze on reboot. It just showed the "TOSHIBA" logo, which it does before the Windows logo. Only after cut off power could I reboot again.
It runs better now. Norton AntiVirus still claims there's nothing there.
I did one bad thing. I bought this laptop in March 1999 with Win 98 -- and I've never logged in for MS updates. I have reinstalled it from the CD a few times, but no updates.
What's networking? Is that when a company links up employee computers? It's not the same as going online, nor does it relate to DSL or Wi-Fi, does it?
