What do I do? My computer is corrupted by spyware. I've tried to clean it,
but I need to wipe it, reformat and rebuild. When I inventoried my
resources, I realized that the store that I bought the box from didn't give
me the XP Home disc and they are now out of business. Any suggestions about
how I can get past this without going out and buying a new OS? The machine
does work, although very, very slowly. Internet is slowly functional. Thanks.

In some cases, when the OEM has gone out of business, MS will help with
replacement. See this link:
