No virus was found within the computer, yes I m going to format it very soon but I won't choose winxp.. if you say that winxp got no problem with spyware, virus.. etc then you are very wrong.. throughout all the operating system winxp is the most unstable want, in case you don't know about it..

If you don't want XP (and I do disagree, I find it to be one of the best I have had so far), go with 98 or 2000, ME is one of the worst Windows operating systems made so far, as far as stability.
A trick I found that helps with getting rid of some pesky spyware that likes to lock up the computer when you attempt to remove it is to stop the program mid scan, remove everything it found, then start over again. Just watch it over, and stop it each time it finds something, remove that item, start back up. If that doesn't work, then format, as its likely a very pesky piece of spyware that only a format will deal with.
