My computer (on Win98) occasionally tries to access the
internet (dialup) although no internet applications are
running.
Sometimes after connection, Can't access and websites or
email (using IE5 and outlook express) although the
connection is racing.
Using alt-ctrl-del shows these programs are running in the
background, the files are found in \windows and
\windows\system respectively. Are they malware? I've seen
your advice on malware removal.

BELT.EXE:

Dunno about the other but I'd bet some sort of spyware, trojan or virus.
