My clock shows time as

Also when i right click on taskbar, the task manager option is not visible,it has been disabled,
I have 5 partitions on my hard disk, C,D,E,F,G. . But now when i click My computer, I can see partions E,F,G only being displayed

Can anyone help me options other than re-installing XP again

Welcome to the CH forums.

Please wait for one of the CH authorised Malware Removal Specialists to advise.  Someone will be along shortly.

Good luck.

Welcome to CH.

Please follow these steps in order.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM)

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:
• Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
• Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Then click Finish.
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Download and rename TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT)

• Double-click on HJTInstall.
• Click on the Install button.
  
• It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
  
• Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.

• Close HijackThis and rename it.
  
• Go to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis.exe
  
• Right click on HijackThis.exe and select Rename.
  
• Type in sniper.exe and press Enter.
  
• Right-click on sniper.exe and select Send To > Desktop (create shortcut)

• From the desktop open HijackThis.
• Important! If using Windows Vista, Right-click and Run As Administrator
  
• Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
  
• HijackThis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
• Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your post.
  
• Do not have HijackThis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

Although we have renamed HijackThis to sniper, we will still refer to it as HijackThis or HJT.
