Severe Problems with a Windows 98 computer

[ReceedingLight]

I have "fixed" this computer many times before, but the next time I boot it up, everything comes right back. I have been running AVG, Spybot S&D, and adaware, but to no avail. This computer has been messed up for as long as I can remember, but I actually sat down to work with it a few days ago. My hijack this report is below, please help.

Do you have all the critical updates for 98 downloaded? It seems that something got in that is reconfiguring ur system. If it were me I'd fdisk the hard drive then reformat it and reload the programs from disc. If u do this make sure u go to microsoft.com and download all the critical updates for 98 before loading other software.

Hi,
Download LQfix.exe and place it on your desktop.
Doubleclick LQfix.exe and click install.
This will create a new folder called LQfix on your desktop.
Open the folder and doubleclick ClickThis.bat
Follow the prompts on the screen.
Your system will reboot afterwards.
Please be patient after reboot, because there is a script running in the background.

After this, perform an online virus scan at Panda ActiveScan with the "Disinfection" option enabled. Save the log it gives after the scan. Run HijackThis again, click Do a System scan and save log, and post the fresh log along with the Panda ActiveScan log.
