Download, install, update and do a full scan with either SUPERAntiSpyware or MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (or both, even -- but one at a time), and let them remove whatever they find.  You'll most likely need to do this in Safe Mode, and you may need to download them on another computer if your internet access is compromised.

Also, search for this p-articular virus at the same site.

Once it's cleaned up, install a good hosts file to help block unwanted popups, parasites, adware and spyware.  You can read about, download and install an excellent one from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm   This hosts file blocks hundreds of known malicious URLs.  I've been using one from this website for several years now and rarely get popups and annoying ads.  Revisit the page every couple of months as it is updated from time to time with new sites.

Also, make sure they never use an administrator account for day-to-day use.  Always use a Standard or Limited account.  This will limit the amount of damage these things can do, and prevent them from installing by themselves.

Try to reprogram that computer. WIN XP really sucks, use WIN7
