Booting hangs the comp?

hi,,im using win 98,,today i was removing my free edition of avg antivirus free edition and installing activeshield antivirus,because

avg antivirus is stopping it's free service from jan 15th,,the activeshield antivirus refused to install unless

avg was uninstalled,,so while the computer was online i uninstalled avg successfully,,,,this might have given chance

to viruses and trojans to enter the comp in this no-virus-protection online state,,,,following this,i installed the active shield

antivirus,,,but the problem is that,,after restarting computer,,,the computer sort of hangs while booting when the win98

picture comes on, though at the bottom of this screen there is indication of booting procedure ON in the form of moving

lights and shadows line (hope you understand what i mean),,,,as though something is preventing the computer from booting

fully ,the comp is allowed to boot only in the safe mode,im not sure if this problem is connected to the entry of

viruse or other reason

I doubt that you got a virus! I would be more inclined to believe that your new software is hogging resources and eating up your ram!
