Try some online scans like Norton's (but you'll have to do manual removal file-by-file)
or like Housecall, which can do auto removal but is intolerably slow.
In your shoes, with a low budget (no money equals no time to save anything from th
existing installation), I'd run the Dell PC Restore CTRL + F11 after the Dell startup
logo, (it's pretty fast), set up Limited User accounts for each of the users, one
Admin account for program installation, and password protect the available Admin
account as well as the built-in Admin. I'd install AVG, Adobe Reader, Flash and
Java. Finally I'd make sure the Windows Firewall was on (it should be by default
if it has SP2), turn on Auto updates, I'd show the person how to do Windows updates
and then have them do it for themselves. That would take about an hour on a faster
connection.
