Runtime error

[Guest]

Hi, Has anyone got any ideas, I recently re-installed XP
on my brothers PC and he spent 4 days on the net
unprotected. There was some trojans etc but they have
been wiped. However if I got to the registry and look in,
say HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then software-> microsoft->
windows-> Currentversion-> internet settings-> P3P->
History. There are a heap of web addresses that have not
been accesed. I know this as I have deletd them but they
keep returning. Any idea how to remove them permanately?

Second the PC now has a Runtime error;

Do you wish to debug
Line:1
Error:Syntax error
Any ideas how to rectify this?

Cheers Paul

Run a full suite of malware checking programs. Make sure you update
each one after downloading and installing. Then boot to safe made and
run them. These should be run at least weekly after that, making sure
you update them first.
