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.

I'm right here, are you blind? Exactly what is the relevance of your
question?
I stopped using the Microsoft web forums almost as soon as I started,
because I find them a poor substitute for the discontinued newsgroups.
I work on other forums such as aumha.net, which have much better
implementation and usually more appropriate replies. A fair number of
Microsoft MVPs did not migrate to their web forums, and most of them
were not re-awarded in the past year or two.

Did you not see my earlier reply stating this?
Do you really believe you need to reinstall Windows because of something
as simple as an Immunization failure in Spybot, which is frequently
reported on their forums?
Kaspersky and some other bootable CDs have an incompatibility with many
Dell network adapters, causing them to freeze when you try to boot with
the CD. This is also well documented in forums. I explained this also,
in my earlier reply.
