if the computer was that infected, are you sure you have no rootkits
sitting on it? I know that most spyware-removal-tools and scanners are
not able to detected sophisticated rootkits (such as the infamous
BMG-sony-rootkit). Sometimes it's just best practice to wipe the HD and
make a clean install when you have encountered such a 'victim'.
