Answer 1

Hmm, someone just downloaded a trojan with their 'free' antivirus software that probably also hijacks internet explorer & puts you on to other fake antivirus sites too...

Bullguard might be able to help you out as I think they have an old version of their program that'll work for 30 days for free. You will have to register it & pay for it after that if you want to continue using it. Tesco also do some cheap antivirus software but I don't think it works with Windows Me. Not even microsoft supports it anymore!

Go to trendmicro.com and there look for the recovery disk, that are 4 flopys in fat format, only run in boot time,out of windows, you donwload the file and when the install open it will ask you to insert one by one the 4 disk, you numbered and when finish, insert the #1 and boot the PC and follow the instructions, when ask you to insert #2,3,4 and so on.You do not have to run that obsolete OS like Me, borrow from some body a CD of 2000 that do not required register with microsoft, or get you the Update CD of XP that cost $100.00( students in college can get then for $25.00).

And also there it is a Monster called Ubuntu Linux 8, that are free and equal or better than XP.

i think AVG Antivirus should work, i had an older version on my win 98 many years ago, now i have 7.5, i dont know if it will work for you but try older versions of it

Answer 4

The software that you may have used maybe the virus itself.  Some security software pose as a good protection software but eventually are rogue spyware products and entice users to "buy" the product for further protection.  Anyway, it is hard to find protection for old OS.  You can use older versions of AV's such as nod32 v.2.7 or below which is not free though but has a 30 day trial, avast home edition, AVG 7.5 or below, clamwin av and avira personal 7.0 or below.  Just update its antivirus database and scan your pc.

Avast antivirus runs on Win ME:

For on-demand antispyware, Superantispyware and Spybot Search and Destroy will run on Win ME:

> Superantispyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/

> Spybot Search and Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/...

Notes:

1) You have to register Avast within 60 days, and once a year afterwards (always free.)

2) Spybot asks for a donation. It is not required.
