You need to run a spyware software I can also give you intructions to tune up the pc for windows XP.
Tuning up your PC. First open a Internet Explorer, right hand side of the top tool bar select tools/then Internet Options/In the Middle under Browsing History select Delete/Then towards the bottom of that window select delete all. This will clean out your cache. Next click start icon/ right click on properties/ then select the advanced tab/ in the window that appears the top section the third option down is For Best Performance, select this and click apply or ok which ever. Next start / my computer/ then right click on C:\ drive and select properties again. Select tools and run your scan disc checking auto repair errors and recover bad sectors. It will tell you it can't until you re-start click ok. Now go start/ Run/ type msconfig...when the window appears select start up...place your pointer on the line right next to location on the left side...hold down the left mouse key and slide to the right. This will make it so you can better read exactly what is running. Uncheck everything but things related to your virus program and the spy ware. Then click apply and it will prompt you to re-start. When it re-starts the computer will go into scan disc. If any system things got unchecked that were needed by the system they will correct during this scan. When scan completes and windows starts up a window will appear check the little box on the bottom left and click ok. Next go to start/ my computer and again right click C:\ and select properties as before...this time in tools select defragmenter...click on the icon Analyze if it comes up needing to defrag do it...to WILL see a world of difference and by the way in Best Performance Mode your task bar will be gray, this is normal. Copy/ Paste this to Microsoft Word and save it as a document for future reference/print the instructions will make it easier to follow.

Hi There,
The below site seems to be what you need. It is not free £15.00 ish to download, but I understand it works very well for what you need it for.
Best of Luck.
