You managed it completely by yourself! I say well done!
To get Windows Update working again was this what you did?

The last time I had to take my computer into the shop for repairs (in April) I bought an 8GB USB memory stick to backup some of my stuff on occasion, which was barely fitting part of on a 2GB I had before.
That's very good!

What an adventure! All i can recommend is switch to Windows 7 asap. It has much better inbuilt security. Asks your permission for almost everything. If that kind of pop-ups attack me during browsing over louche websites, i immediately kill their process via TaskManager (Ctrl Alt Del). That's possible because they cannot get far without my approval. So they present their tiny menu asking if i really want to leave without trying their program, click OK? I WILL NOT CLICK OK. Instead i kill those IE windows. What you had, that looked more like a stealth attack, possible on XP so it seems.
Plus, Internet Explorer 9 has smartscreen filter which you can turn on. Windows XP users are stuck with IE8.
