I'm visiting my mother in law and I trying to help her to clean he desktop, but the system now is slower than before. She had avg antivirus and I intalled CCleaner, adware and spybot s & d.

I ran all the program an I cleaned the system with more than 179 spyware and other viruses.
Now the when i start the system i received this message MAC address are invalid in both APC and DMI, Press F1 to resume.
The start process take ages and all the process, this message took me 45 minutes to write, because Firefox not responding.

System is a HP win XP sp2, any help??

I would recommend backing up all her important files, and simply format and reinstall.
