u try running adware/spyware scans? or antivirus scan?

get spybot, adaware, and microsoft antispyware and run all of those.

Thats not a virus. You’ve turned on active desktop. Just go to Control Panel => Display => Desktop => Customize Desktop => Web and turn it off from there.

After you have turned off AD, you will run to run Ad-Aware, this should remove it.  Also, do you have SP2 for XP?  This type of adware should be unable to affect your machine on SP2
