Rock;

I can not find the win98 general discusion group on the windows site. When
I go to the link http://aumha.org/nntp.htm and select the group, I'm asked to
sellect an outlook user name and login? If I highlight the group
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion the link at the bottom of the page
points to msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion however
entering that URL into my browser comes back with site not found.

Yes CWShredder is not a trojan, I realize it's to clean Cool Web Search and
its variants, but it didn't work for me as it finds nothing, even when
adaware does.
