Visit www.download.com and get these two anti-spyware software packages.
Ad-aware - search for ad-aware
SpyBot Search & Destroy - search for SPYBOT
Scroll down past the Sponsors, and click on the FREE version. Install and run these.
After a full scan from both of these, then check to see if your Anti-virus software is working. Get the updates, and run a full scan.
With Windows XP, go to the start menu, and pick RUN. Type in MSCONFIG and go. Click on the STARTUP section and uncheck anything that you do not need. Make sure that you do no uncheck your antivirus program, but just about everything else can go. Restart your computer and check your Anti-virus status.
Then consider adding more RAM. Check prices at http://www.coastmemory.com Look up your exact model.

I've been through this - its a real pain. First click on go and run msconfig. Dedelect everything in the Service and Startup tabs. This stops all the viruses and spyware from loading - restart your PC. Go to Limewire.com and download Norton anti Virus. Follow the directions in the .txt file to install it - you won't be able to be connected to the web during installation and for a couple of restarts after it is installed.
DO NOT load anymore toolbars from Adaware or any of the others as these install spyware to induce you to buy their software.
Norton will find all of the virese and spyware and will remove as much as it can. After this, run msconfig again and select everything in the Sevice and Startup tabs. Restart your PC, the viruses will be loaded again and Norton will find and destroy them.
Do another full scan with Norton just to be sure - you can then reconnect to the web, register Norton and your system will be fully protected.
