My brothers computer is no longer allowing him access. It is infected with some SORT of virus. Right now all I know is it is running windows 98. First he said after powering up all his ICONS where listed on the left, and his wallpaper was changed to a blue screen with an advertisement saying click here for anti-spyware... Now it went to a black screen and all icons are missing, only a partial TOOL bar is at the bottom of screen.

PLEASE tell me what to do to get you info to fix his probs.

Thanks in advance!
Well i dont know if there is much you can do. I mean if he is locked out of windows there isnt much chance of you being able to install a antvirus or a stinger!

Because of it only being windows 98 you wont be able to do a system restore back a few weeks then launch the stinger or antivirus.

I dont know myself, but im sure that Raptor or Flame or one of the super smart dudes may know what to do.

Sorry i could not help
