Download, and install AVG free antivirus: http://free.grisoft.com/
OR...
Download, and install AVAST! free antivirus: http://filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/
AND...
Download, and install Comodo free firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ (don't forget to disable Windows firewall before Comodo installation)

Download, and install free ThreatFire: http://www.threatfire.com/, which will give you real-time protection against malwares.
It won't interfere with your antivirus, nor firewall.

You should be OK, but post HJT log, just in case...OK

I had to reinstall XP (I used my XP Home original with SP2) onto my F: Drive....

Never had any versions of Windows in there in the past etc.... Too many conflicts when I was installing all my programs over the D: (Old XP Pro Dir) Program Files folder.....

So all 99% ATM.... I cannot install Nero or WinDVD I KEEP getting an IKernal error and the installation aborts, Firewall on or off etc

I had to uninstall Avast, every 2 seconds it warned me about dll CHANGES to every startup program when windows booted..... Non stop....

Here is the current Hijack log posted from my old PC....

maxmixThe log is clean, but you HAVE TO have AV program. Try AVG, if you didn't like Avast!
