I've cleaned a few machines at work that had so much spyware (including EXEs launching at startup) that the machines basically just stopped functioning, and we had to do OS reinstalls in a few really bad cases, the spyware was so pervasive, tangled up all-through the registry and files.

I don't know if that will ever happen to have one tool to do it all. But, new positions will be created dedicated to handling those situations. I guess, soon at schools, those will be given as courses and such. I spent a total of 4 hours to clean it up. I hope I'll be ok for a while.
