AntiVirus Programs Issue

I have run Trend Micro, Norton and McAfee. Trend Micro finds nothing,
Norton finds nothing and McAfee found Swizzor.gen, BJCFD(Broad Jump) and
wmdmp9x.exe (dialer) but can't complete the scan because it hangs on
various Service Pack files.

Anyone experience anything like this? Is there a AV newsgroup that is
good?

Where are the "Restore" files kept in XP-Home SP2? That is where
Swizzor was located according to McAfee. They say their program hangs
on the service pack files because they are corrupted...any solution to
that?

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Go online and download an stand-alone program called a stinger that will zap
the most problematic viruses on your system.

Then, go to Network Associates's website (McAfee's maker) and search for the
viruses you mentioned below and read the instructions for manually removing
them (if possible). Restoring Windows probably wouldn't help you in this
situation.
