some general questions.
How do you connect to the internet?
Do you have a firewall?
How often are you updating your anti-virus definitions?
Why are you still running Win98? And SE at that?

Re: some general questions.
SE's about as up-to-date as Win98 gets.
Yup.

Re: some general questions.
Get a good firewall, software based if needed. Fortunately, the bad actors and viruses are also growing and pretty soon will be too big to download over dialup.
Window 2K and XP though are pretty close to real operating systems and much, much better than Win98.
