I tried updating Windows 98 today when the screen switched me to a web page titled "about blank" In Yahoo.com, when I try to read my e-mail I am also switched to a web page "about blank" Is there anything out there that can remove this pest from my PC? It's very frustrating to say the least.

I had my main harddrive from my other computer running as a slave so that I could transfer some files back and forth...
