Ugh. That's needed in less than 5% of the infected systems I've dealt

What data does a disk clean-up destroy? It only deletes cookies, temp
internet files, etc. I suggest it because I have no clue how large his
cache is. In theory, if he browses the net a lot and has a huge cache, it
could cause a problem.

I could swear I saw "reinstall" in your post. If not, then nevermind,
but just cleaning a cache also won't remove any viruses or other
malware...
