I have Windows 98 still also :D I barely have probs with it .....
except for the fact that I'm getting a new piece of audio equipment (the MPC 1000) that requires 2000/ME/XP to recognize the USB as a drive in my cpu, so I'm kinda scared to upgrade :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: |

| Get norton anti virus and a linksys firewall. You will NEVER get a virus/hacked again. Seriously, if you set it up correctly, your email and all running aplications will be scaned, and the firewall vlocks all the ports that MS leaves open to attack. |

Excellent advice, and may I add this:
don't use Outlook Express! Many viruses exploit Outlook. |

which is why most virus's are sent via email . . .
designed to get all those not so clued up ppl who send thousands of joke emails to each other at work to open the attachment and install some nasty worm on to thier systems.
once installed, some of these worms will then go out thru your firewall because they are concealed to look like a legitimate windows applications, like 'taskmon' or 'services'
a really good firewall will detect the 2nd instance of a program trying to access the internet and will either ask u to confirm its allowd or will automaticly stop it.
latest virus to be causing a problem is the W32/netskyb worm.
comes in thru ur email with random content and random message body and usually with a double extension file attachment.
similar to the mydoom virus but this one replaces an existing mydoom virus with itself, how nice

Exactly my thought. Any person who claims that 98 is more stable than XP should go see a doctor. |

IDK if this has been said before but you don't have to get the blaster patch to stop it from infecting you. Either A.) Disable DCOM services in the administrator panel (kinda difficult to remember where this is at) or B.) Just enable the WXP firewall you n00b. :p
that is all.
*edit* alright to disable Distributed COM (which is what blaster infects) simply go
start-
settings-
control panel-
adminstrative tools-
component services-
expand component services-
expand computers-
go to the properties tab on the my computer you now see (right click on it)-
go to the default properties tab-
UNCHECK "Enable Distributed COM on this computer"
Be sure to hit "OK" afterwards.
Viola - that's all there is to it. Enabling the WXP firewall on your connection might be a bit simpler though. |

Appernetly so...It's just that every time I ever used xp it gliched out on me, I guess it's not use to me opening all sorts of programs at once. At least with 98 it could sort of handle it. That just my experience and also why I got a mac. |

hmm.. you're not making sense. multiple program execution capability is dependent on your ram,cpu, and harddrive. if the progs keep glitching, its not designed for XP.
this was the case with a friend, computer illiterate. kept trying to run company software on an XP when its only designed for 9x/ME. I enlightened him before he bought more needless expensive equipment. :D |
