Are you running antivirus software with up to date virus definitions? Have you checked your system for spyware and removed all that is found?

I hope you are aware that there in no single antispyware program that can get rid of all possible spyware.
The next thing to try is to go to http://www.dslreports.com/tools and run the Tweak Test. Follow the instructions which may include downloading the small DrTCP applet to change a registry setting to optimize performance of the network.

Try booting to Safe Mode with network support. Does the behavior also occur in Safe Mode?

Please provide more information. Is it not allowing you to boot into Safe Mode because you are not tapping the F8 key in time? because it doesn't recognize the keyboard before Windows loads? Or, are you getting some kind of error. Remember, since I cannot see your computer from this end of the internet, you have to provide the best description that you can of the problem. Saying that it doesn't work, is not too helpful.
