re: To understand what it is, and what a reinstall requires, it will cost you Friday, November 18, 2005 at 9:13 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Vicky (5 messages posted) Several years ago I used TR Trojan Remover to scan every time I started my computer.I downloaded it from teh internet. TR found a virus that I had and couldn't get rid of. But then again I no longer have TR as I was told that to many virus products cause conflicts. I had my computer checked out by a technician who came to my home back in 00. He told me not to have anything but McAfee. I didn't listen to him though and chose Norton as I was able to get a rebate back when I bought it at Home depot, so it only cost me $10 after rebate.
