SSDPSRV. Try turning off SSDP Discovery Service (Control Panel - Administrative
Tools). I had to do that with my XP systems.
AdAware and Spybot complement each other. As long as you don't try to run them
at the same time, it's perfectly OK to leave them installed. I run both a
couple times weekly. And HijackThis at least monthly.
But there are other tools which you should know about.
First, download LSP-Fix and WinsockXPFIx from <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>,
and CWShredder from <http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html>. All are
free.
Next, close all Internet Explorer and Outlook windows, then run CWShredder.
Have it fix all variants.
Now check for, and remove, spyware. Get HijackThis
<http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155>, also free.
1) Install and run HijackThis. Do NOT make any changes immediately. Save the
HJT Log.
2) Have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the following
forums (and post it here):
<http://forums.net-integration.net/>
<http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/>

If removal of any spyware affects your ability to access the internet (some
spyware builds itself into the network software, and its removal may damage your
network), run LSP-Fix and / or WinsockXPFIx.
Cheers,

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
