Once upon a time, P2P file sharing was fairly safe. That is no longer true. You may continue to use P2P sharing at your own risk; however, please keep in mind that this practice may be the source of your current malware infestation.

Download and Install a HOSTS File
A Hosts file is a plain text file which prevents your computer from connecting to malware and spyware sites by redirecting the connection request to 127.0.0.1, which is your local address. If you use a proxy server, or if you are on AOL, be sure to read the special instructions.
You can download the MVPS Hosts File and see a HOSTS file tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
This website also contains useful tips, and links to other resources and utilities.

You should update your Windows XP to SP2. This fixes a large number of security holes in your system.
It is a very large download, and is not feasible with Dial-Up.
If there is a problem with getting the SP2 to take, see here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/expert/atkin_04nov23.mspx
You can order an update Service Pack 2 CD from MicroSoft here : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
Good Luck! You have done a great job on some difficult infections.
