From your initial description my guess is that you may have been
infected with some sort of malware that had nothing directly to do with
installing Quickbooks. The software installation on a subsequently
unstable system produced further system problems.

For future reference be aware that a repair install will not remove
spyware, adware, trojans, worms or viruses.

Now that you are doing a clean install make sure you protect your PC.
Before going online make sure your firewall is enabled (if XP sp2 it
should be on by default). Get a good antivirus package, several are
free, I use AVG Free avaialble here:
