additional icons on desktop: error cleaner, privacy protector, spyware protection
grey box pop up: virus detected: worm.win32.netobooster, and is looped
macafee, norton detected nothing
avast, spybot, adaware - installation corrupt
new pop up window, click here to download anti-virus, window resembles windows security manager, opens when opening the internet
click on any pop up, purchase required
o.s. is xp, copy of xp not available to reinstall

Seems like you have several infected files that load on startup. They may be preventing you from running some programs. In this case you will have to startup the computer in safe mode. Safe mode can be done by pressing F8 at the boot screen before the Windows splash screen.
You can follow the guide for this parasite removal at http://www.spyware-techie.com/how-to-rem... It shows you details on how to reboot in safe mode and the files that need to be removed from your computer. You can also try smitfraudfix which is free. It will remove the files that are tied to Worm.Win32.Netbooster.
