C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\REM BOOTUP.EXE
That is what i edited it to, works a treat except if you have ever used 98se you get the windows loading screen then a black screen usually saying a few bits and bobs it says something along the lines it cant load it which is what i wanted but if you also know how to get rid of this message it would be great
it dont slow up boot times or stop pc working or anything its just a bit annoying im not fussed if i have to put up with it lol

BigBoy (I think) meant to put REM at the beginning of the line, i.e. "rem C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\BOOTUP.EXE".
After changing that, there are two easy ways to get rid of the message all together I can think of, either:
a) Just delete the whole line, you don't need it.
b) Put "@Echo OFF" at the top of autoexec.bat, if it's not already there. That will hide the command being run (so it won't display "rem C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\BOOTUP.EXE" on screen).

Yep thats the one i couldnt remember the full line of text
havent used win98 for a few months.using @Echo off at the start of any batch file is the best thing to do also put CLS on the next line under it.
e.g.
Code:
@echo off
[color=Lime] cls[/color]
[color=Plum]rem [/color]C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\BOOTUP.EXEAlso any other lines of text that display information when run can be canceled out so they dont display by putting >nul on the end of each line.
e.g.
Code:
@echo off
[color=Lime] cls[/color]
[color=Indigo] [color=Plum]rem [/color][/color]C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVGFRE~1\BOOTUP.EXE
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D0 H5 P330 T6
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E
C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S [color=Red]>nul[/color]
C:\SB16\MIXERSET /P /Q [color=Red]>nul[/color]
SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
PROMPT $p$g
LOADHIGH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE [color=Red]>nul[/color]
LOADHIGH C:\CD-ROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD001 [color=Red]>nul[/color]
[color=Lime] cls[/color]The CLS command makes dos clear the screen and the >nul command forces the command shell to make the program silent. in the second example i posted diagnose, mixerset, mouse and mscdex usualy give some sort of visual output, but using the >nul stops this from happening and the last CLS clears the screen just incase.
This should stop the Win98 startup logo from flashing on and off when booting.

ok, 1 pc with avg installed, keeps popping up saying theres a virus (no kidding the pc is totally fubar!) but no options to do anything about it. So then, load up avg and do a full scan, to which it says there are NO viruses found. Install avast!, all viruses cleared on the initial bootup scan, pc now working fine again.
Repeat the exact same story for the second pc, suffice to say, I now use avast! and have never looked back.
