Hi, first timer here. My PC completely shut down, virus from p2p site.
Only
way to get system running again without losing all the files, family pics,
music etc, was to reload XP over the existing XP, now my HD size has
halved,
obviously two XP programs installed, taking up way too much room on a 40gb
HDD. Question is how to fix it so all is well, without having to do a full
uninstall and reformat. Any help will be appreciated, if it means a
complete
reformat, will have to save all the files etc, bummer.
Running AVG anti virus, Error Nuker, Adaware and Spybot

Let's see...you do not use any type of anti-virus, probably don't have a
firewall installed, and you use P2P to steal things that don't belong to
you. You store your family pics on your hard drive without backing them
up....I'd say that pretty much boils down to *you should not be using a
computer*.
