First off. New installs of win 98 are bad idea. No updates are available. Even if you know where to get them, it's a real risk online.

"My computer" does not need an online connection.
You have a firewall etc? I'm tempted to say you have been infected with something.
I've seen a sytem catch a trojan using XP within seconds of first time online. Needless to say, that user never goes online without protection of a firewall since. 98 has no chance.

BTW. It seems the pavilion has a celeron 600. It will run XP. 320 megs of ram is wasted on 98. Take the better option and use XP. Use 98 for the old stuff it's meant for. Older games etc.
