Major virus?

I have a chum running XP-Home and all his PC will do is run to just before NTLogon and freeze - so all nice and blue and freezes just before the User name / Password screen pops up. Just to make things really interesting, he only has a 98 recovery disk so can't read the NTFS partition on his only HDD. I think this is a boot virus and will require a clen install. Any ideas?

PS - He does have a hisotry of being a Kazaa monkey and although he does have AVG and Zone Alarm, he's not the best at updates.

Thanks,
