Virus? - Unable to set up new Antivirus Protection 2

[trybry]

Hi,

I've been having problems opening new anti-virus programs.
Could this be a virus?

I'm running Win95 and each program loaded has a different
error associated with it. So I tried a CD with a antivirus
program on it and it too would not load. I also attempted to
re-establish the original Antivirus and that too was blocked. I tried to download new antivirus software online and after the down load I got various error messages tool.

Can anyone answer any of the following;

How can I get around this with out reformating the disk?
Can I load the software on Dos.?
What kind of virus is it.

I can't scan it online for the following reasons;

Norton - does not support Win95 anymore
Mcaffe - online scan page will not load (tried all the help
solutions).
Panda - Loads software, but will not allow it to be
opened.

Can someone help me.

Even when I use Control Panel, I can't load the software either.

Please help me!

Maybe you need to try and run under a more simple environment (in DOS). It could prove to be an ideal second defence antivirus protection option.

Give F-Prot Antivirus for DOS (FREE for Home Users) a try:

F-Prot Antivirus for DOS will run under Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and 98.

Tried running the scanners in safe mode? (hit F8 repeatadly before the Windows screen when you first boot the computer).

Tried the other online scanners?
