I looked up Google and found alot of discussions here on how to remove
the http://fastsearch.cc but how I do prevent it? I've found
instructions how to remove them from windows XP but I still have
windows 98. How do I prevent it for 98?

Thanks.

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip; [new
URL] ) is the preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both
identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
