Rebranded Internet Exploder. Get Mozilla Firefox. It is only a 4.9 MB download, so it is not too bad for dialup even... Most internet-spread malware gets into your computer through the 8 bajillion security holes in Internet Exploder (or Outlook). The AdBlock extension makes it even better.

You'll need to run some powerful anti-spyware programs. Ad-Aware is one of the best, and free for personal use. Don't bother with the "pro" Version and all that. The other of the best is Spybot Search & Destroy. It is always a tossup which actually comes out on top... Best to use both, as one will sometimes miss something that the other catches. Either of these should eliminate your problem.

A good firewall is a plus. Disable that crap that is built into XP and run Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5 (NOT the more recent 4.x Version!). It can help protect your computer.
