If you have the ability to block specific ports on your router or firewall, just block UDP port 136. If you can't, then you can just turn off the windows messenger service.
Go to start | control panel | administrative tools. Open up 'services'. Find the 'messenger' service, double-click on it, and disable it. You'll probably never use it at home anyway.
To see what other XP services you can turn off, check out my services tweaks.

Spybot Search and destroy combined with a good virus program should rid you of any problems. Just "Add or Remove Programs" might rid you of installed plug-ins.
On a side note: I recently get messages immedeately from the internet, when internet is on I get a sort of pop-up (not the normal kind), like a grey window with text in it. Appearently my firewall (Sygate Personal Firewall) doesn't block this. Do those bastards use some sort of inside XP messaging system I can turn off? I thought there was a program like that in XP.

y'know, if you virus and ad-scanned and are not finding anything, and IE is hosed and you can't get it to work, it might just be easier to back up your stuff, wipe your computer and just start fresh. There's not telling what all's on your system. That way you're sure.
oh, and I hate Jesus.
