Hello All, I used 98lite to remove Internet Explorer from Windows 98se and all is well. The only thing that does not work is Hijackthis... Is Hijackthis dependent on IE ? I run both Opera and Firefox behind a ZoneAlarm Firewall with Spybot and Adaware_se. Thanks for listening...

I opened the add/remove programs window in the control panel of Windows ME, and I look and everything on the Add/Remove Programs list is gone! What happened to my list and is this a result of spyware, virus, or trojans?
