help ... i've got something ugly buried deep inside my machine that keeps eating up my system resources - it happens whenever i'm on the net or using my email. i get notifications that my resources are running dangerously low and they are indeed even if i close everything and am just using word. i'm using windows 98. i took my computer in to be fixed - the guy found 3 viruses and removed them, but the problem remains. i'm using the latest norton anti-virus, am running zonealarm, ad-aware and have just recently installed spy bot which incidentally found all manner of crap which i subsequently deleted (that was last night) but, it's still happening. i constantly have to reboot. also after i close a program, the box on the bottom of my screen still remains. its blank, but it's still there. sometimes i'll end up with 5 empty boxes, plus the one that i'm using and then, bingo - no resources left. i'm at my wits end and am thinking that the only thing left to do is reinstall my operating system and programs and data, etc, etc. has anyone else experienced this? any suggestions? -rose
