I currently have one of the team laptops, but when I first got it it was riddled with spyware.
Run adaware, 750 infections found.
Clean infections.
Run again, 330 infections found.
Clean.
Run again, 15 found.
And it would stay at 15.

Finally, it was so slow I said "Screw it." and said to ted boucher, "Let's reformat it." He agreed and we reformated. It deleted everything great, but we kept on getting an error copying shell32.dll

We tried about 3 times, to no avail. So I figure, "knoppix will fix this." and get a senior to drive me home, grab my knoppix, and drive me back. We get back, I boot it up and we get a sector IO error... so now we think it's a bad hard drive.

About an hour later we go and get the CD that we should've used in the beginning, and it works. Turns out my knoppix cd had some soda on the back of it causing an IO error, and the original reformat disc was just screwwy.

EDIT: We took pictures of the errors on jays camera, i'll get them tomorrow.
