I'd run PANDA on line - it sounds like that one virus that is out there that keeps saying it is shutting down the computer - but wasn't that only on winXP systems? did she run anti-spyware programs?

Friend is getting this message on her computer. She = runs win98Se and is on cable. She has zone alarm pro. These messages = will come on when nothing is open. There is another message but I don't = remember what she said it is. Has run virus scan and nothing. I advised = her to contact her isp as it looks like a hole in their system. Once the = message told her she had to reboot three times to get reconnected and = she did. Sounds like someone has taken over her puter. Any thoughts? I = had her take a shot of the message so I could ask someone as I am = baffled. Thanks "The Internet is Broken. I must go fix it now."
