Your log seems clean to me.

load=ptsnoop.exe in win.ini (path = windows\system\ptsnoop.exe) is usually legit (related to drivers for some dialup modems) but although it's unlikely in your case, it has also been known to be a trojan...

Upload ptsnoop.exe here for a free check, just to make sure

ibestbar.dll and balloon.exe appear to be related to your isp (discador ibest) and although they are probably not essential startup items, they're also safe/legit.

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Machine Debug Manager] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MDM.EXE

The Microsoft Machine Debug Manager is safe/legit, but is also not an essential startup item, and can be a bit of a resource hog, as well as causing problems/conflicts with some programs (mainly because it constantly monitors all running programs and fires out error messages for even the slightest of bugs).

O4 - Startup: Microsoft Office - OSA9.EXE is also a useless resource hog.

O4 - Startup: WinZip Quick Pick WZQKPICK.EXE is legit, but not essential (down to user's choice).

I recommend that you disable osa9.exe and mdm.exe

All other entries are fully legit, and essential/required.

You can get a second opinion by running a spyware scan with Adaware SE,
and a free online virus scan at any of the following sites:

Cool :cool:

When installing under Win98, I recommend unchecking the following items in the installer options:

Winamp Library section:

-Portable Media Player Support > PlaysForSure support (only loads under WinXP)

-Predixis MusicMagic (not compatible with Win9x)

Audio Support section:

-Sonic Ripping/Burning Support (has been known to cause problems under Win9x)
