Did you scan the computer for spyware? Download a program called:
"Ad-aware", which you can download from this website:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/ to get rid of any spyware
on your computer..
After launching the program click on the link: "Check for updates
now..." to update the reference file and then run the program. Support
for this program can be found at this forum:
http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/

Do you have SP2 installed on the XP machine?
