What do you mean "rebooted deleting both hard drives"? Did you reinstall Windows? SP1 is old, you need to download and install SP2 at least.
When does it say "forfeit the game"? What are you doing when it happens? Does it happen randomly or when you go to a site or open a program?
You really need to take notice of what's going on and give better information. We are not psychic!

My suggestions:
1. Download Spybot Search & Destroy and run it.
2. Download Ad-Aware SE Personal and run it.
3. Download Windows Defender
4. Delete your temporary files.
5. Uninstall all the software that you don't need.
6. Always update your OS (Windows XP)

ok reformating ur dive does dont clean every virus sorry to say but do it again unplug ur pc from the internet and install antivirus program like kaspersky is good and use a firewall then hook up the internet again update it and do full pc scans and next time use firefox browser if u dont use it and if u have wireless internet get a extra router with norton antivirus for double protection.and u shouldnt be worried unless u have important data onur pc or if u buy stuff off the web.hit me up if further questions.

SP 1? That's the problem. You can't keep Windows secure without the latest updates.
If XP is legal, get all updates NOW.
If XP is not legal, buy it!
