Hi again -

I'm not seeing malware as the cause of any issues you may be having.

You have P2P applications still. Limewire Pro is now back in your Add/Remove Programs list.

You have only 256MB of RAM (memory). Modern applications will place a lot of demand on your system, bogging it down. 512MB is really the minimum for Windows XP, 1GB of RAM is better.

Since you've done a fresh install, and there's no malware evident, I think we're done here.

For any continued support for your issue, I suggest you take it up in the Windows XP forum.
