Many Windows PCs problems are due to spyware. Here is the list of programs I keep in the Step 1 folder :

HijackThisv1.99.1 HijackThis is good for removing stuff installed in Internet Explorer. Note: You may eventually see Trend Micro being the new owners of Hijack this and will be part of their product line. StartUpControlPanelv2.8 Download the standalone EXE version. This shows what programs are set to run at Windows startup and allows you to disable suspect or useless entries
General steps in removing spyware :

Or at this stage (you will have a VERY LONG WAIT and numerous reboots), you might want to start looking at alternatives that are easier to update and where third party software packagers are not penalised.
Microsoft site. Microsoft had made available a Windows Security Update CD in early 2004 for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP which may also be useful. It is no longer available for ordering from Microsoft's website. Perhaps your local Microsoft distributor or friendly techie might be able to provide you with a copy.
