Try this.

Do you have an XP CD?

If so, place it in your CD ROM drive and follow the instructions below:

• Click on Start > Run and type sfc /scannow then press Enter (note the space between scf and /scannow)
  • Let this run undisturbed until the window with the blue  progress bar goes away

SFC - Which stands for System File Checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

Didn't solve it.

I'm not sure whats wrong. Have you tried a repair install? http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

Could it be hardware problem then? My fan is running on high-speed and in Everest my CPU heat is 75-80 degrees Celsius in safe-mod.

That is very possible.

I'm pretty sure we removed the malware but the damage it did may be more than we can see. You may need to reinstall.

Alright. Well thanks a lot for the help! It might take some days till I get it reinstalled.
