Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Internet / August 2003bad download, worm or opsys problem
I cannot connect to the internet from a win98 machine. I downloaded a program named speed blaster on Friday or Saturday. The program claimed to optimize my connection with the internet. It asked what kind of connection I had, I chose cable modem, it had me restart my computer. The internet has not worked since. I have removed the program, but it still wont work. I know the blaster virus affects xp, 2000 & NT. Does it affect 98? Did I get some version of the worm? > I cannot connect to the internet from a win98 machine.

The new Blaster virus cannot infect Win9x or WinMe.  SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup.
