I have windows 98. I have been trying to install Mcafee
Internet Security and am having all sorts of problems.
The most frustrating now is that XYYC.EXE keeps trying to
access the internet. I don't know what it is. It pops
up about every 5 minutes whether or not the PC is
connected to the internet. It is located in
C:/Windows/All Users/StartMenu/Programs and was installed
June 10, 2003. I don't know where it came from. At my
son's suggestion I copied it to a CD and tried to delete
it from the hard drive. A message appeared saying that I
could not delete it because it was part of windows. I
have attempted an online search for XYYC.EXE and get no
results. Can anyone help me?

Few things spring to mind......

Trojan,
Worm,
Virii,
Spyware,
Other malware

Run an Antivirus scan......
