I'd recommend a thorough scan on the system with the anti-virus program
running the latest definitions, then go through some of the information
here: http://www.aumha.org/secure.htm to check for parasites, Trojans and
other malware on the system. If you have not yet updated to Windows XP SP2,
then it is very likely the system is infested. It should be cleaned up
before attempt to bring it to date.
