Hello

A friend of mine brought his computer to me because the computer is not responding correctly.
The computer freezes and he has to reboot. He uses WIN 98SE.

hi hall472,

dont see anything that looks like malware in the log, but a" clean" hjt log isnt conclusive evidence. i can only suggest that you download and run a malware removing app if you dont have one or get a 2nd one to use. the options are limited for w98. not sure if these below will work on w98, visit the website, check system requirements or just download and install and you will find out. the last one listed: a squared does work with w98
