Windows 98 - System Freezes when kids are in MSN or Whyville Typin

Please help. This is driving me crazy.

When my kids are typing in MSN or Whyville or on email for that matter, the
page will suddenly go black on the outside and then if you touch the mouse it
freezes, hangs the entire system.

Any help is appreciated.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.net/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
