DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Free computer advice! Posted : 14 Dec, 2010 04:36 AM A firewall is a good way to do it. There are some good free ones out there, just do a search in Google for "free zone firewall". If it's just a program you want to keep from starting up, open the "run" command box(hold down the "windows logo" key and press "r" at the same time), type in "msconfig", and go to the "startup" tab. You can uncheck anything you don't want to startup, some of the names are confusing though. If it's a virus, that's a whole other ball game, so lemme know. :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	Free computer advice! Posted : 14 Dec, 2010 09:49 AM Well, the issue is that I'm running Windows 98... The anti-virus software I was using decided to stop supporting Windows 98 over the summer. I can't find any other anti-virus software that supports it either. So, I was thinking of whitelisting the .exe files I use and then making it so my computer couldn't run anything else (such as viruses). (And, yes, I know I should just upgrade, but I'm not doing doing that in the real immediate feature.) Post Reply
DontHitThatMark View Profile History	Free computer advice! Posted : 14 Dec, 2010 04:08 PM Oh...uh...hopefully this isn't a violation of the TOS, but "avira" anti-virus might support win98. It's free also. Other than that, you'd probably have to find some kind of third party program. There may be a way to do what you want through policy permissions, etc...but that gets really complicated. :peace::peace: Post Reply
