MalwareBytes's AntiMalware - no AntiVirus. ;-)

Probably your best bet - flatten (wipe) the system and start from scratch.  You will need your most recent backup (your stuff, like your documents, photos, music, video, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, bookmarks/Internet favorites, e-mail contacts, serial number, proof of purchase/receipts, that may have been scanned in, etc. and so on...) and a good list of installed software and hardware specifications (I suggest Belarc Advisor running on the current system and print the results if possible) then you can get the drivers before or after installation.

Of course, you will also need your multimedia installation product key/serial numbers and that go hand in hand.  In Windows XP - there is no way for me to know (without telling you) what level your installation CD is... so you will need to install the SP2 and SP3 after installing the operating system.  I would leave it disconnected from the Internet (physically) until it is at least SP3 and you have confirmed its firewall is enabled and, if possible, you have installed an antivirus application.

For you, I suggest the eSet 32 antivirus (not more) - which costs ~ $60 every two years for private users.  Add to that the MalwareBytes full package which costs, if I remember, ~ $25 for life.

Then, once the system * is * connected to the Internet (physically) - get hardware drivers installed for everything and the rest 100 + installed post-SP3 updates.  Then you can worry about all your other programs and restore your files LAST.
