Re: Report back so far
The greater concern was that A-A said there were 302 process modules. I am thinking that these things might be a significant part of the problem. Opinions about process modules???
That's not a lot. I got 2373 running here now. Every program that loads also loads DLLs and what-not.
If you want to get really industrial-strength, you might try HijackThis. It doesn't do any interpretation for you, but if you save a log there's a new site that will try to interpret it for you: HijackThis Log Anlayzer. Or there are plenty of sites where experts will analyze your log (after you've run both Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy), such as Spyware Info Forums and Spyware Warrior Forums.

Re: some general questions.
Why are you still running Win98? And SE at that?
SE's about as up-to-date as Win98 gets.

See what programs start automatically
I like to use Startup Inspector. Start it and (being connected to the Internet) click "Consult". It'll be able to tell you what most startup programs are for, and classify them as critical, useful, optional, and not recommended (with some "unknown").
