There doesn't appear to be much practical difference (for diagnosis purposes) between HjT 1.99 and 2.02.
Regarding your seriously out of date Windows, why?
You're still using a non-patched version, and using IE6.
There actually isn't a lot of point in trying to delete malware from this PC if you aren't going to patch it. It will be like trying to keep water out of a roof full of holes. You'll get sick of moving the buckets.
I'd get SP1, then get SP3, which can be installed on a XP SP1 system, then get the subsequent Ms updates.
Windows 10,Windows Firewall,Firefox w/Adblock.

Infected In Twenty Minutes

What normally happens within twenty minutes? That's how long your average unprotected PC running Windows XP, fresh out of the box, will last once it's connected to the Internet.
