I had a similar problem. First I uninstalled anything I didn't recognise in add/remove programs. I then ran Ad-Aware 6.0 with the latest update (important that you have the update). Then I rebooted into safe mode and ran ad-aware. Reboot into Windows XP - problem solved.
The safe-mode part is critical as it kills any processes that shouldn't be running. One last thing is to check the startup files. Start > Run > msconfig. Disable anything in the startup tab that looks suspicious. Not all spyware is picked up, especially if it's brand new or is rare. If that fails then maybe you need to re-format.
