Help! If you have mad Windoze98 skillz, please send me a note.

My computer caught a passel of nasty viruses a week or so ago, and shockingly, the "wait and see if it goes away" method doesn't seem to be working very well.

I was trolling thru Google Images for a smashing new graphic for your enjoyment, and ended up at some stupid gamer site.

Farking gamers.

So now I've got some trojans running loose reporting allan-knows-what back to the mother ship, annoying pop-ups, and endless offers to install "WinFix 2005." No pr0n as far as I can tell, but a lot of system instability and periodic "new" icons in my system tray. I admit the puppy dog icon was cute, but I had to put him down uninstall program "rebate retriever."

I ran out and got Norton Antivirus 2005, but the damn viri disabled the CD.

HELP!

Thanks, Emily

PS Send me email or leave a note here, I may be busy tomorrow, but I'll get back to you, promise! Assuming the haxors haven't eaten my OS by then.
1. If it's a laptop or you feel like lugging a desktop up to my place, bring it by and we'll try and kill the virii.

2. If you've still got internet, McAfee has an online virus scan. See if it'll get a bite on the bustards.
I have a spare Mac if you're interested ...
