Spyware

[JasonLFunk]

A friend of mines computer is being stupid. It takes forever to boot up, both in normal and safe mode. I tried starting with last known good config, nothing helps. Also the start bar dosen't load. I installed spysweeper but it will not open, it just stops responding. He is on cable and didn't have a firewall, I asume it is spyware that's killing his comp. Neither of us want to just completly reformat his comp snince it won't let me burn cds. Any suggestions?
