another thought that i didn't see mentioned in this thread. There is a checkbox to have windows automatically restart when it encounters an error. if an important file got corrupted or deleted in the process of getting rid of a virus/spyware, windows will just reboot instead of showing the wonderful bluescreen. at this point i would just do a system restore and then go from there.
start->control panel->system->advanced->startup & recovery->settings
