Don't forget to take steps to protect your system from further abuse.

1) enable Automatic Updates. install SP2.
2) enable Windows Firewall.
3) install a good anti-virus program, update it daily and let Windows
Security Center monitor it. I recommend AVG from www.grisoft.com.
4) run Internet security zone on HIGH or install a protection tool such
as ones I have recommended in other recent posts. My current favorite is
Prevx Home from www.prevx.com. But Pivx Quik-Fix and Merijn's BugOff!
are worthy.
