In this case, I'd say even having to resort to a reformat (I bet our resident experts here could have cleaned the system without a reformat) this was a victory as this is now a user who will exercise care in how she surfs the net and what software is on her computer. Sounds like she now knows all of the security software as well.

This is an unwinnable war, but by being more careful she can manage to win a couple of more battles.

To reformat is to put the doubts to rest and obtain peace of mind. JMO
