A HJT log file may be very useful.

Otherwise, to clean you system there are some basic steps :

1. Upgrade to SP2 and make sure you have all the latest patches. Use nLite to create a slipstreamed cd of XP with SP2 (separately downloaded) and Rayan Vm's pack which contains all the necessary patches released after SP2. (both the softwares are freeware)

2. Download both AdwareSE and Spybot S&D and update the definition files (do not run scan yet). In Spybot S&D under Immunize click Immunize to protect against all malacious sites. Also udate your AV definations.

3. Disable System Restore and reboot in safe mode.

4. Run full system scans in AdwareSE, Spybot S&D, and the anti-virus you are having. Fix anything found in the scans. Reboot in normal mode. And if you still have issues then you got to post a HijackThis log file.

Also remember to fix all viruses/adwares/spywares only when System restore is disabled.

If you want to remove messenger and other Windows components then you can use nLite (www.nliteos.com) to remove them directly from the CD, and make your own custom Windows CD.
