Kick Bootie... Thanks.

As far as nuking the machine, if it were mine, I would have long ago. Unfortunately, it's a local judge who has no compunction paying me $65 per hour to grind the spyware away and leave his data as intact as can be. I'm happy to oblige.

This morning I thought about command prompt mode, since the adware attaches itself to the logon script. Command mode requires no login - unless you run explore. I figured that was the next step but have't been back to his house to try it.
