I have been having troubles with my windows box (yes, yes, I know) and I remember having a live cd version of linux a while back that had a set of anti-spyware tools. If anybody knows what I am talking about could they please tell me the name of this CD, thanks. I think the CD's name I am refering to started with a 'c' if that helps. If you know of something else however that does the job please feel free to post it here as well.

Have you tried lavasoft's adaware, spybot S&D, and spysweeper? Even on the nastiest infected computers, these 3 used together should bring a computer back to life. It works for me.
I'm not sure. Here's a list I found of Live CDs I found. Look at the ones with Rescue in the primary function column.
Linux write support for NTFS is still not recommended (to my knowledge). I'd recommend building a BartPE Live CD instead and including a spyware scanner there. The other thing you can do without a live CD is to update the spyware scanner defs (spybot and/or adaware SE) and then reboot into Safe Mode without networking and do your spyware cleaning from safe mode...
