Off Topic: Hijacked



Late last night while trying to get a driver to work my XP got hijacked and
even with the anti-virus and MS's own anti-spyware running, it still got
hit. Now I get blasted ads and IE's about blank is shot too. I now get a
message on the desktop about somekind of a error and the active desktop pic
can't be displayed, something about error in VXD VMM (01)
trojan-spy.html.smitfraud.c and as the XP disk didn't come with the machine
( it's a used one ) I can't run it to fix whatever.
