Solve : My laptop is infected please help!?

Answer»

I have a dell windows 98 laptop that freezes up when trying to turn it on. Two days before this happened I installed a flash player update while using safari because a notice kept popping up.  Please post exact model and manufacturer of laptop.

Why do you think that the computer is infected? What does "freezes up" MEAN? Have you received any error messages? Does the computer run Win98 or Win98SE? Did the problem occur IMMEDIATELY after you updated Flash Player? How long have you had Safari installed? Please list any and all other information that you think MIGHT be helpful and post back.ok ok,

I can intently see from you what you have told us, that infact the most likely reason for this to be happening, was that you downloaded a flash player. Many website which contain porn etc, will ask you to download a flash player from there website to watch there videos, most of the time these will be infected 
Also its not just porn its heaps of other stuff too.

OP said that they downloaded an update to Flash Player - a normal process for security minded computer users.

Let's not ENGAGE in idle speculation about a poster's web habits.
