Tone,
The site you wanted is:
Black Viper's Windows XP Home and Professional Service Pack 1 Service Configurations
I would suggest you try this guide first:
Guide for Eliminating Spyware, Adware, and Random Popups
Once you are done with that guide I want you to download
Hijack This! and post the log file here. Do
NOT make any repairs. (Hijack This! pulls up everything, including programs that are supposed to be in your computer.)
Take Care,
Richard
