Did your windows xp come with anti virus software? Mine did..if so go to control panel and activate it from there. Otherwise, you can download free AVG anti virus software...I use it exclusively and like it better then any other I have tried. Link below.

Another part of virus protection (and maybe the most important one) is the so-called resident protection (also known as on-access protection). Simply said, it is a program that continuously monitors the entire computer (the operating system and all running programs) and watches for suspicious activities (e.g. execution of a virus), thus avoiding/preventing a virus from damaging files on your computer.\n\n \n\nFrom the very definition of the resident protection, it is clear that most of the time it doesn't require any special care from your side. You don't have to execute it (it activates automatically when you start your computer) and if everything is OK, you won't even notice it is running. Its presence in the system is indicated by a small icon with the avast! symbol (lowercase 'a' in a ball) in the notification area (next to the clock). The second avast! icon, related to VRDB functions (see the help for more information), is also displayed here - as a lowercase 'i' in a ball. These two icons can be co-joined into one should the user feel the need to do so.\n\n \n\nSometimes, it may be practical to either pause the resident task, or maybe change its sensitivity. To do this, you can use the tiny resident control in the avast! simple user interface, by clicking the icon with the resident protection symbol - lowercase 'a'.\n\n \n\nMore detailed settings can be accessed by double-clicking the avast! taskbar icon.

Try doing a "System Restore" in safe mode (f8 on restart). That turns off most of the programs that automatically run on startup. This where a lot of virus' hide. Make sure that you go back to a date far enough  to restore system prior to the suspected infection.

Better install some antivirum applications like NORTON ANTIVIRUS, McCafe..... and Install POP-UP blockers also which will also protect ur system from being infected from unwanted downloads which is liley to have virus applications.\n\nAlso, better ensure the system is scanned everytime u start your PC.. It may take additional time to boot, but will be recommended usage.

First of all to avoid an infection, use a firewall. To remove the virus, try scanning your hard drive for it using an anti-virus software. If you think that your antivirus is infected, download someother antivirus. Or use stinger ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ ), a standalone virus removal tool.

Use Window's System Restore in start menu under All Programs-Accessories-System Tools. Restore your computer to a time before it was infected and also try to get a firewall.

Use a different computer to get a boot disk to clean the virus. That way you don't have to lose anything.

To prevent the trojan from freezing the Start button and Taskbar, try booting into Windows XP using the safe mode.  This website will tell you how to boot into the safe mode:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315222\n\nAfter doing so, try using anti-virus software such as Norton, McAfee, or AVG to detect the clean the trojan.  Most of the above software should be able to detect the trojan.
