First make sure you've turned off system restore if you've got xp, because that stops antivirus scanners from completely clearing systems
For an extra virus scanner try

Or if you want an online virus scanner
Panda Active Scan (http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm)
House Call (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) Another online virus scanner
GFI trojan scanner (http://www.trojanscan.com/) BitDefender Free Online Virus Scan (http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php)

Jeez on cable a yr & no pf or av.
... total of 70 spy wares , 13 viruses , 18 and counting trojans ....
That's not bad really. I'd expects 100's of each if not 1000's of each on cable.
But I bet some of the trojans were protecting him. You know like, "That's my b*tch, move along." :lol:

I suggest formatting completely every partition then reinstalling windows. chances are, even if you manage to remove all the spyware and viruses\trojans, a lot of files are gonna be corrupted becuase of teh antivirus program trying to disinfect them. so a lot of things will need to be reinstalled, some wont be able to uninstall and give u a hard time, some windows programs wont work which are kinda hard to replace...
this happened to me a long long time ago and the only way to fix it was to just reinstall.
