    we need to do some serious updates to windows but leave that until it's clean

    When you have followed Rik's advice about ccleaner don't forget Browntoa's advice too get your XP up to SP3 , visit the microsoft update site (you will probably have to use IE for that )

    Im using FF. Any pointer where I could find the blocker?

    looks like you're nearly sorted, notice how I kept out of the way and let the techie folks assist you, anyway if you still want this:

    Done.
    Now I have to upgrade to IE 8 somehow, apparently.
    Do I still need to do this if I can persuade OH to use FF like me instead of IE?

    I'M a bit scared. i know you people know your stuff but the last time my son took his laptop for "repair" the man said it may be a dodgy windows update apparently he'd had alot of people with the same trouble!
    Not doubting, jsust seeking reassurance!
