Question

Did you delete VVSN while in Safe Mode as instructed in post #35?

As you thought, you should have enough free space available and sufficient RAM for Win98. Maybe that VVSN is causing the problem.

would you direct me to a section on the forum where I can ask about alternatives to microsoft, different browers and internet servers?

General opinion-type questions such as "what browser would you guys recommend using instead of Internet Explorer?" should really be posted in the Geeks Lounge, because the technical areas of the forum are more meant for getting help with specific technical problems. For browsers, if you've already installed a browser other than Internet Explorer and have questions or problems with it, the Windows Software forum is probably the most appropriate place to post.

In terms of non-Microsoft solutions for operating systems or networking/server software, you'll probably get more responses from members experienced in those areas if you post any questions you might have in the Linux/UNIX, Mac, and Networking forums (despite what I just said above regarding the Geeks Lounge).

Here is one thread discussing browsers:
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread9561-best+browser.html

There are others if you do a search for them. I've read several of them and the consesus seems to be Mozilla as the primary browser, with Internet Explorer also installed as a backup because some sites won't work with Mozilla, and you can't get Windows Updates if you don't have I.E.

Hi jonas1234,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

Secondly though, we do ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/faq.php?faq=daniweb_faq#faq_rules

Thanks for understanding.

Crunchie, this is my guess. How close am I?
Joal, please wait for Crunchie or another expert to confirm this before proceeding.

This entry: O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VVSN] C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN\VVSN.EXE
appears to be malware.

I checked O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VVSN] C:\PROGRAM FILES\VVSN\VVSN.EXE and then fix, looks like it reinstated itself.
AOL is cr.p , I agree, next year plan to buy another computer , and ask which way to go for internet connection, browser etc. but need to finish this job first for the pay, [researcher].[also what to buy all around]
I am a beginner as far as dealing with computers, but it seems to me that this scumware can rewrite itself, I noticed the question marks with the washer.
Thanks all, would like to post computer capacity here.
Thanks all, Joal

I want to thank everyone for their help.
I uninstalled all of aol , and found old files that were redundant, no surprise. I did reinstall it, but it is running smoothly for now.
If anyone reads this, would you direct me to a section on the forum where I can ask about alternatives to microsoft, different browers and internet servers?

That's great,thanks much the info provides a good start. I went to use the CWShredder and found another button applied somehow??? It took me to a free download of SpySubtract, which, is now owned by Intermute , who bought the CWShredder.It found a load of malware that had been hiding in files, registry keys, etc. that wasn't being detected.
That was found on a quick search. I am not sure what is thought about it, but it sems to be a simple tool for beginners.
later in another place

Hi!

I´m wondering if anyone can help me ?, I´ve got the same problem
on my computer (windows XP)

I get the error message and after that I can just click OK and the
computer seems to be (?) fine after that.

Best regards
