WOW, looks like a lot of infected files, there are two things you can do, (1) get mcafee (aol and comcast internet have free legal downloads).
(2) Backup Only your most important files on a disk or floppy an do a system restore.
If you you have a cd burner you can burn ONLY your MOST IMPORTANT files to a cd-r or cd-rw disk. If not you would have to put them a floppy disk.
Now for system restore, When you bought your computer it should of came with reinstallation cds or a cd that simply says "system restore". Now as soon as you turn on the comp (doesn't mean let it load up all the way to desktop screen) put the cd in then turn the comp off. Turn back on and push the button that will let you choose which are to boot from (differs from comp company). The from there it should tell you what to do.
Now if you dont have any of those cd's, I recommend trying to buy the restore cd. I wouldn't suggest getting a Windows OS installation cd from a friend because then if he used it you wouldn't be registered as having a genuine copy of windows (but thats up to you). To buy a Windows OS installation cd would cost you about 100-150 $ depending on which version of xp you buy.
