Hello masonc,

I ran "SpeedyPC" and it claimed to find 1324
problems. Should I trust it? (I didn't buy it.)

To buy a product from that same company ? Ofcourse not.

Quite likely its largely Scareware(tm) (like counting each suspect cookie as
a seperate "problem").

Is there such a "cleaner" that I could trust on
my old XP?

Only a single one: Reinstall XP from scratch (and apply the security patches
ofcourse)

After that create a full backup of that drive so you can restore your 'puter
to a known-to-be-clean state when some infestment actually occurs.

For laughs: run that "SpeedyPC" product on a fully patched and updated
install and see how many "problems" it (still) finds.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
