I use AVG Free Edition, Ad Aware and Spybot. Also, if malware has
infected your system, then it can be extremely difficult to
remove. It's like back to the DOS days where you had to boot from a
clean floppy before disinfecting your system. If you have your
installation CD, you can make a boot CD to do just that (use a clean
PC!) with virus scanners and other utilities.
Look up "Ultimate Boot CD for Windows" in Google. It's a little
fiddly to prepare, but handy to have a reasonably up to date one in
your toolkit. You do need your original XP installation files
available to make it work (SP1 or SP2). Not sure it's been updated
for Vista yet.
