thnx for your advice,

The benefit to installing the 95 series Shell on Windows
98** is you take advantage of Windows 98** more advanced memory management, multi-tasking, and multi-threading, with a more stable faster Shell.

This totally disintegrates the Windows Desktop Interface from the Internet and/or Internet Explorer, that is to say Internet Explorer runs as a Separate Application, just like Netscape or Opera.

The most distinctive feature that separates the 98** series Explorer shell from the 95** Explorer Shell is the Taskbar/Toolbar integration.

Other features are the newer (and more resource hungry)Mouse Over or Flat Style Toolbars, and extra integrated file display options.

Sorry for sounding like a sales rep, it’s not intended at all.

So the question is does advast rely upon the MS HTML rendering engine (SHDOCVW.DLL + MSHTML.DLL) ?

And if so is there another way? as i really dont want to put them back in and slow down my o/s.
