Mystery self loading apps

by rick h . Updated 22 years, 6 months ago

We have one machine with Win ME and the rest are 98’s. Recently the ME was slowing down and I found the recourses were low (65%) right after boot up. The usual is 90%- 95%. I found some apps through “crl alt del” and adaware took care of some but not all. Later after some trial and error I got rid of them, rebooted and more were there. These are a few of the names found on the running list: ysljoqfx.exe, Jgpkzd, Ajcl & Tsso.
What are these, how can I prevent getting them, and whats the best way to remove them? We are using TCP/Ip networked through Lantastic. Our server is data storage/print server only. All software is stand alone for all eleven computers. Thanks for any advice you can give.
Rick
