If you know how to nuke it - go ahead, let 'em fly...

I would suggest loading Cureit & AVG from MajorGeeks.com (that way you get recent definitions) and running those in Safe Mode (hit F8 before Windows XP screen comes up - yeh, it's a timing thing)

Also run Adaware in Safe Mode. You might need to run all of these several times. Then the FIRST THING is to go and PATCH the system at Microsoft update.

Make sure the kids are not running Linewire/Frostwire/Donkey or any of the "free" file/music sharing. This is the major problem...
