So your question isn't really about ActiveX but about removing malware
on a Win98 laptop?
Go through these malware removal steps systematically:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
You will see from the instructions that you must get all tools/updates
from a different, known-clean machine and run all scans in Safe Mode. I
don't recommend using online scanners to clean infested machines.
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA).
