How do I access Malicious Program Removal Tool?
I've accessed and ran this program before but have forgotten how to access it. I'm running WinXP3 on an older Toshiba laptop. Can anyone offer assistance? Thanks in advance.

Like the other responses, XP hasn't been supported by Microsoft for quite some time. Because of this there have been no security patches from Microsoft and there are many.. many hackers out there now exploiting XP vulnerabilities.
There is not much you can do at this point to protect yourself.
You are going to have to "bite the bullet" and purchase a new computer with a supported Operating system. It is not worth updating your old laptop with the new OS.
As far as a removal tool. I'm not sure if these will even run on Windows XP but here are some links
malwarebytes
ccleaner
Trend micro Houscall *may not run on XP*
I've already "bitten the bullet" I purchased a new Toshiba laptop Running Win8.1 last year. I'm basically "playing around" with my old XP laptop since I like to learn.
