    I wasnt aware XP had spyware ... except for the "tell microsoft about this problem" ....
    What evidence of spyware do you have?
    or where did you hear of it??

    Make sure the "Internet Connect Firewall" is turned off. IS NOT A FIREWALL AT ALL.

    on xp home there is some sort of m$ connection that starts when you boot up, and keeps on running, I would reccomend deleting it, it's under network connections and I think in home only
