I may have a virus on my computer

I run a Athlon 1.2 with Windows Millenium. Lately, everytime I load up my computer freezes, or sometimes decides to spontaneously reboot. Is this a virus, or Millenium being... well, Millenium (I heard that it was unstable, but damn...). Can anyone advise me? Are there any free anti-viral programs I can download?

Dump me. Get something else. Anything else. 2000, XP, hell 3.1 would be fucking better than that piece of shit.

Yeah, nuke it flat, get 2K, Kerio, Mozilla Firebird (and Mail too), SpybotSD, and AVG Antivirus. It's what I use, and the worst that happens is a virus will occasionally try to download itself from a webmail site (only if an infected email is open) and get shot down on sight by AVG...

Well I downloaded AVG antivirus, ran it, nailed 4 viruses, then things worked fine for awhile. Until my computer locked up. *grr* If only voodoo curses actually worked, I would call a pox down upon Microsoft's head. :evil: I'm convinced now that it's Millenium - but right now, I can't replace it at all. Fucking motherfuckers! Thank you, microsoft, for making my computer experience a frustrating one. Win95 was never this bad.
