I suspect it is (was?) part of your infection.
It could be part of Norton's crapware; *I* think it's an alias for malware.
It is NOT part of Windows 98.
I like Keith's
suggestion: As many things as are screwed up on this thing,
it's time to back up the data, wipe the HDD, and start fresh.
If my *infection* guess is correct, that componds the value of the suggestion;
you could keep messing with this thing till Doomsday
and STILL not get it right via the piecemeal approach.
I also suspect that you use Internet Explorer (I call it Internet Exploder).
If you stop that and get a 21st Century browser,
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
or
http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=windows
your browser will be FAR less likely to ASSIST in infecting itself
AND INFECTING THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
This advice goes for Outlook Express too.
As an infection vector, it is second only to Internet Exploder.

Alternatives to both of those pieces of crapware are available gratis
(Firefox and Thunderbird are also libre--if anybody cares).
