HOLD ON! You are getting some really poor advice here! Your issues
should not require a reinstall of Windows! I suggest you do not follow
those procedures except as a last resort when other avenues have been
exhausted.
One of the advantages of community help is also one of its
disadvantages....you get a lot of suggestions. Unfortunately not all
should be acted upon or are even relevant to your issues.
Your problem with Spybot Immunization may simply be a Spybot issue, as
reported on their forums in the past. Changing a setting in Spybot, to
"Skip system accounts during IE immunization", may fix you issue.
Uninstalling Spybot and reinstalling from a fresh download might also
help. It may also be a permissions issue.
Your issue with Word and Office programs may also be a Permissions issue
or a problem with your security settings. Reinstalling Office is
another option that might help.
Your problem running the Kaspersky Anti-virus from bootable CD as Paul
suggested is common with bootable AV discs when used on older Dell
computers, due to incompatibility with their network adapters. I
sometimes have better luck using the BitDefender Rescue CD instead in
those cases.
All in all, you issues have been forgotten and this thread has taken a
life of its own that is no longer even cognizant of your original
problems.
