I have a gateway computer with Win98 in it. I ran Ad-Adware to get rid
of spywire. It gave amessage saying 'tbps,exe' , 'pib.exe' in
c:/programfiles/toolbar are a serious threat and it needs quartine.
The same message it gave for 'c:..../commonfiles/wintools/wtoolsA.exe'
.. But I went ahead and deleted it manually. When I rebooted the
computer, it started to hang for no reason. If it works ok, if I try
to open a link from a site, the new window will be hanging. Pls help
me with this problem

Since its a "Win98" problem, do you try the experts in the Win9x newsgroups?
