upon startup of a win98 sys received msg missing dll
C:\windows\system\winupd.exe what does this mean, what can I do about
it. thanks

Hello bigjoesr13-ga,

You may have the remanants of the bagle worm (a type of virus) as all
references to winupd.exe I've found make mention of different virii,
so if you have a virus scanner, please update it and scan. If you do
not, I have provided links to a bagle worm cleaner, as well as Trend
Micro HouseCall which is a free online virus scanner/cleaner which
works pretty well.

HouseCall (run this regardless if the bagle cleaner works, just to
make sure no other virii are present):
