I have a virus-how much of the HD needs to be wiped

[scallosa]

My PC (Win98) has an insidious virus. The symptoms include shutting down IE whenever it wants. If I go to a free site to perform a virus scan, and it will scan for a few minutes, then IE will take a GPF. It also will not allow me to install McAffee virus protection.
Other times, it will cause Windows to fail with a GPF in WINMX on startup.
The problem started with a download from Kazaa, a bogus mpeg I think. The download was on the E drive (I have 2 physical hardrives, C on one and D, E, F on the other). For the virus to work, I am assuming it must have found its way to the C drive. My questions are,
what kind of a virus is this, and, do I have to wipe out the D, E and F drives as well as the C? That is, could it be hiding on other than the C drive?
Thanks.

Often times the highly intelligent males writing viruses are getting paid to do it by one company so they can get money from the customers to repair it or paid by another company to fix the problem they created.
