I ran F-Prot for the first time in awhile.
I just clicked Scan, and left the screen while it was running. It
started scannning my C root, so everything looked OK.

When I got back later, it had stopped with this screen:

If OE means Outlook Express, I uninstalled the W98 default last
week. Winkill is a program for process view.

I never saw a reference to Causeway before.

What is the meaning of this screen?
I have a C partition and a D partition.
It seems F-Prot terminated inprocess and never completed the scan.

Thanks, Steve.

The only reference to Causeway on my hard drive was 2 IE bookmarks,
nothing else, and I deleted them. About 4 months ago, I ran F prot and
it ran fine. IIRC, I never had anything with Causeway, may have been an
IE default in W98SE.

I just ran F-Prot, got the same message, same termination.

I'll post to a security newsgroup to see if I can get a fix.
