What's this mean? - Moved...

In Win 98 se what does it mean when I keep getting "Runtime Error 216" and "Runtime Error 217" ? This is usually but not always followed by "A fatal exception has occured at D000:00000049". Is it fixable?

Many 216 errors indicate a viral infection...

Error Message: Runtime Error 216
This issue can occur if your computer is infected with a SubSeven Trojan virus. (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=259279)

Thanx, I'll work on it from that angle.

I moved this to Applications and Security... Please post a HJT log and do the other scan below...

http://www.merijn.org/programs.php

To run HJT, extract it to a permanent folder such as one you create like C:\HJT or the Desktop. Close all open windows and
browsers and make sure that all programs are enabled if you use msconfig. Run it and Scan, then Save the log.
When the log window appears, Right click to Copy it, open your browser and come here to Paste the entire log. Do
not make any changes until it is checked since most items are either benign or essential to the computer.

Try running an MWavScan... It will produce a log in the lower window that has the bad list and you will need to use Ctrl-C to copy it and then paste it here for review.... If the list is extremely long, you can just paste the lines that begin with the word "File" since those are the ones we need to be most concerned about...
DO NOT post the upper window which contains everything that was scanned...

Allow it to clean whatever it finds...
