The most likely is spyware because of the ease with which it can infect. Next most likely is virus/worm infection. Next Trojan. Lastly rootkit. It also would depend on the protections you have running (or not as the case may be) eg anti-virus, personal firewall (eg Zone Alarm), and so forth. And it also will depend on whether you would have clicked on any suspicious email attachments, o/s patch update status, visiting potentially unsafe websites, etc.

I would suggest safe boot then try and install SpyBot and run it. Thereafter, run Trojan Hunter, which I believe has a free trial period. The AVG anti-rootkit is free. There is also one from F-Secure called Blacklight. I also think NOD32 is arguably the best anti-virus available. You also should use a personal firewall. The Windows XP firewall is insufficient.

If that all fails you could load the hdd as a secondary hdd in a known clean machine and scan it after booting from the clean machines hdd.
