See the following link on how to install XP clean:
http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

adware/malware cleaners regularly? Practice safe computing? If so your
system shouldn't get to such a state. You haven't followed one or more
of these precautions for your system to get so messed up.
