Hello

Xp becoming slow, isnt always due to virus, how long has you been using this xp? as time goes, when you install new program xp tend to become slower,

i would suggest you to check your hard disk space, may-be you dont have enough free space, try to have a least 2 gb for your virtual memory

Concerning the virus threat i guess its probable a tracking cookie, these are generally marked as low risk object by some antivirus, they are harmless most of the time, just flush the cookies its should be okai
