Messagebox Title: "System Settings Change"
You must restart your computer before the new settings will take
effect. Do you want to restart your computer now? Yes/No

Is there anything that I can do to find out what happened?
Any other recommendations?

I am using Win98 SE. I will appreciate any information.

I have not shut down my computer yet. How can I determine what changes
would be made to the computer's system settings upon reboot?

No guarantees . . . but
1. You can Ctl Alt Del to be sure you recognize all
the apps currently loaded.
2. MSINFO32 lets you see all DLLs and other system
files currently loaded.
3. You can check MSCONFIG / Startup to see if you
think any suspicious item has been added.
4. Look at and empty c:\windows\temp\*.* and
c:\temp\*.* default temporary storage for instal
processes that require a reboot. (But malware
might not necessarily use the default location.)

See if there is a wininit.ini file created, in the Windows folder. If found, open
with Notepad and post back with its contents pasted into your reply.
