Did it come with a recovery CD ? Otherwise, you need to ask the people you bought it from for the Windows XP CD or borrow a genuine one from somewhere

Essentially, you need to refresh the windows files on your computer, with the original ones from the hard disk, removing anything infected in the process

We can talk you through it when you get your hands on the CD

if you can run it in safe mode with networking, then visit trend housecall for an online scan.
