Download the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool :

Sign off of the internet and disconnect the phone line if you connect by
dial up; disconnect the broadband connection, if any.
Run the WMSRT. Reboot to Safe Mode ( click Start, Turn Off Computer,
then click Restart, tap the F8 key repeatedly prior to Windows starting.
Once Windows starts you will have to reboot again to access Safe Mode)
and run it again.

You need to enable the firewall prior to signing on the internet or the
system will be infested immediately as soon as it connects.
As you can NOT have the system online until you enable the firewall,
here are the instructions from :

How to turn on or turn off the Internet firewall in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673


" To enable Internet Connection Firewall feature using the Network
Setup Wizard:
1. Run the Network Setup Wizard. To access this wizard, point to Control
Panel, double-click Network and Internet Connections, and then click
Setup or change your home or small office network.
2. The Internet Connection Firewall is enabled when you choose a
configuration in the wizard that indicates that your computer is
connected directly to the Internet.

To configure Internet Connection Firewall manually for a connection:
1. Click Start, click Run, type control.exe netconnections, and then
click OK.
2. Right-click the connection on which you would like to enable ICF, and
then click Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, click the box to select the option to Protect my
computer or network.
4. If you want to enable the use of some applications and services
through the firewall, you must enable them. To do this, click Settings,
and then click to select the programs, protocols, and services that you
want to enable for the ICF configuration."

Once the system is clean of all malware STRONGLY advise you to install
an Antivirus program.
Then read this MSKB article on the malware that WMSRT removed from the
system. Info towards bottom of page :
