Unhappy My PC has been got at

I tried to down load one of those free "winks" you get for MSN instant messanger, and it looks like it installed something extra I did not want.

I have tried to remove them with Ad Aware and my anti Virus.

This evening I have had several crashes and instances where I had to shut down or reboot from task manager.

Two times now I have been plagued by some sofware called winfix2005, I try and cancel and it trys to down load or run. It even resizes the browser window

As I am on XP I have tried restore, but for 3 of the checkpoints it would not restore.

Somebody I know sent be a trial version of ewido security suite, but that won't do the updates.

Any clues on how to proceed?
