You could try replacing krnl386.exe by extracting a fresh copy. On my CD it is in 
the Win98_45.CAB. You will have to boot into DOS to make the switch. It would rule 
out krnl386.exe as the cause of the problem. However I tend to think it is another 
application that interacts with krnl386.exe that is causing krnl386.exe to trip up, 
it just gets reported as a krnl386.exe error.

You could also try another virus scanner to see if it turns up something that Panda 
missed. I only use Win98 offline these days so I don't what free antivirus scanners 
are still available for Win98.

That said, I doubt an antivirus scanner would be able to undo the damage that has 
already been done to your system. I suspect the registry has also been affected.

Quite frankly, if I had the trouble you described I would be doing a complete reinstall.
