Hello

Xp becoming slow, isnt always due to virus, how long has you been using this xp? as time goes, when you install new program xp tend to become slower,

i would suggest you to check your hard disk space, may-be you dont have enough free space, try to have a least 2 gb for your virtual memory

Concerning the virus threat i guess its probable a tracking cookie, these are generally marked as low risk object by some antivirus, they are harmless most of the time, just flush the cookies its should be okai

The best Spyware software is "Spyware Doctor" and you can download from Jordysoft.net. I succeeded in removing many spyware.
