My secretaries computer got hit with XP Internet Security a week ago.

Windows XP Pro, MacAfee Antivirus, and IE 8

A combination of Malwarebytes Anti-malware and ComboFix seemed to get it off 
but it was still locking up and running slow.
I was hoping to get by without wiping the hard drive so I sent it to our 
tech department and guess what? They wiped it!

They reloaded the University IT supported software but I spent all day today 
reinstalling purchased software and reloading backed up data.  Gave it back 
to the secretary this afternoon and MacAfee Scan on Demand picked up another 
virus within half an hour.

It is still locking up once in a while so I may have a hardware issue as 
well.

I use IE 8, Chrome and Firefox on my machines because each one has some 
sites or apps that they don't seem to work on while one of the others do.
