Dial-up connection
A few weeks ago I got the virus PRETTY PARK which auto resends it to every one in your address book. Norton antivirus detected it and took care of it, but since then I experience this dial-up connector windows to reproduce itself up to the point the computer freezes and an "extremely low in resources" windows appears. If I restart it most of the time it goes away, but is an annoying thing to deal with. Any ideas how to fix it?

Have you gotten the newest W98 Service pack and other patches installed ?
Have you run msconfig and disabled all of the unnecessary programs from starting up ? This is important !
Also run SFC ( from the Start- Run command ) and have it check all of your Windows Files.
Last step - Run the Windowsupdate from the start button to update your W98 system.
I hope this helps.

Then go to control panel and choose ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. Then click on the WINDOWS SETUP tab and double click on the COMMUNICATIONS folder. Then uncheck DIALUP NETWWORKING. Select OK
This will remove Dial Up Networking
Reboot a few times, see if the problem still exists, then go back and do the same thing described above (Ecept this time CHECK the Dialup Networking Box) and this will re-install it.
Good Luck
