You need to get Xp SP1 asap and all other patches, you are open to multiple threats!

go to add/remove and uninstall SpyHunter, look for it's folders in C:\program files and delete it. It's a dubious programme.
go to this site and download these tools and once you get both adaware Se 1.6 and spybot, update both of them.
Set adaware to do a full system scan and deselect, "search for neglible risk entries". Click next to start the scan. Delete everything adaware finds.
reboot and now run spybot
Spybot: Search and destroy.
Delete what spybot finds marked in red. After updating spybot hit the immunize button.
reboot again
With CWshredder close all browsers and programmes and select the FIX button.
Go here and download Microsoft Antispyware Beta. First in the top menu click
File then Check for updates to download the definitons updates.
After updating look in the right side of the main window under "Run Quick Scan Now" and click Spyware scan options. In that window put a tick by Run a full system scan and then put a check by all three options below that then
click Run Scan now.
When the scan is finished, let it fix anything that it finds (have it quarantine the items that have that option rather than delete just in case. It is a beta program and there may be false positives)
Restart your computer.
All tools can be downloaded at the link below and found on that page!
