    I'm running XP on an older laptop, and it recently got infected with a version of the Total Security Antivirus trojan.  The removal instructions I found online weren't applicable to this particular version, so I ran Norton, and then manually deleted all the files it found (a couple of registry keys, a dll, and several executables).  I think the virus is gone now, but at some point either I or the virus managed to disable/delete one of the critical services for the computer (Plug and Play, or something).  Now most of my services (USB, network, and several programs) are listed as disabled.  Where can I go to get help on investigating and fixing this?

    Try reinstalling your drivers and Windows.
    Some viruses do so and even when the virus is removed you can't get rid of these.
    So just do what i said.
    I answered this here because i couldn't find any suitable forum.
