trying to reinstall win98se

And I keep getts a message SU0409 which tells me to disable virus detection
software by eliminating the lines that start the program from your
Autoexec.bat or config.sys file.

I looked into config and didn't see anything related to my Norton 2003,
which is permanently removed from my pc.

How do I get to see if there is anything hanging around in the autoexec.bat
file? I open it but it is empty.

thanks

p.s. not real good with ms Dos commands

Right click and edit.

Also look in the BIOS to see if there is an AV setting there that must be
disabled.

NEVER EVER DISABLE VIRUS SCANNING SOFTWARE!!
Try updating your virus scanner and virus scan your PC.
Try using Lavasoft Ad-aware (www.lavasoft.de) to find any
ad-aware.

The message telling you to disable your virus scanner may
be a virus Norton hasn't detected.

Bad advice--you always disable the AV program when installing the Windows
operating system. You also have to look in the BIOS and if present, disable
the AV there. To enter the BIOS, watch the boot screen and press the key
indicated to enter setup. Once there, look at the screen for navigation
instructions.
