If you can get a registered version of Spyware Doctor do so and run a complete scan. My buddy Dan had all kinds of crap in his PC from downloading those poker playing softwares. I ran Spyware Doctor on his PC and all the sh*t that it caught was amazing.

MinLo:
1.Disable system restore

2.Download Spyware Blaster~http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html, Download Spyware Doctor~http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/download/ (like The Half said), Download Nod 32 (using the board like Chip said)

3.Update Spyware Doctor, Adaware, Spybot SD, EZ Antivirus.......Install NOD 32 and update it

4.Update Windows, also make sure you allow windows to update to do auto updates

5.Go to Add/remove programs and remove winantiviruspro2007, like Chip said this is probably the main problem....It will keep reinfecting if there is a restore point with this saved inside of it.........It is a rogue anti-virus as here ->http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#products.......Its the same as winantiviruspro 2005/2006, its just a newer and probably crappier version

6.Install Spyware Blaster, enable all protection, copy and paste a shourtcut for SB into startup folder.........Now it will run it everytime windows opens and all you have to do is update every two weeks........After it loads you can close it and it will run in the backgroud

7.Disable windows messenger if its enabled........you can pretty much disable it by doing the following, Uncheck "run windows messenger when window starts",uncheck "allow windows messenger to run in the background"......Close out the icon in bottom right

8.Do all the scans over, Spyware Doctor, Adaware, Spybot SD, EZ Antivirus, Nod 32.........Delete all viruses,spy/adware items.........Make sure to use the immunize feature in Spybot SD,Its on the main scan menu

9.Run HijackThis, Post results here or run it through the analyzer here->http://www.hijackthis.de/......You could also go into their forums for more help.......

10.Once the problem is resolved, which it should be after all these steps  :D, remember to enable system restore again........

When you tried scanning after Chips 1st post, even though you deleted items its possible that the virus/spyadware item/s were still inside of a restore save........ So clearing you restore points will erase that

Spyware Doctor should come with some kind of free trial.........If not Bitorrent/possibly Newsgroups will have a copy.....I prefer to use free things over using pirated apps but It's all up to your preferences I guess

Anytime one of my family or friends have had probs with their computer I use this process.........99% sucessful so far... 8).....One time I had to reinstall windows  :-[ because there was no hope/chance to do the above processes....... ;D

From what I've heard Ram apps that free ram are garbage IMO......Your sister has FreeRamXP Pro.......I'd uninstall that.....I also use CCleaner just to keep things tidy and fast .......If you do get Nod32,once the problem is fixed it would probably be best to scan with this and ditch EZ antivirus but it all depends on your preference......Does she use Firefox? I see that Internet Explorer is running in her processes, I'd suggest making the change to Firefox if she uses IE.........
