My dad has Windows XP installed in his desktop computer. Lately all sorts of error messages appear on the screen. One of them is a firefox error message that says winxpcom error and another has a memory error message. The way I see it his desktop computer has a virus or a spyware. I told him to just reformat the whole hard drive. Reinstall WinXP or upgrade to Windows 8.

If it's a virus, a scan with a couple of programs should clear it, boot off a rescue CD from an antivirus company, I have used the Avira Antivir Rescue Disk. And run Malwarebytes in safe mode with networking (so it can get updates).
