Randy, are there any specific problems he is having or is it just bogging down?
You may be able to use your XP CD to reinstall onto his computer and then use his CD key to activate the install. This link gives a couple ways to find the CD key in his registry:

Of course someone ought to chime in that the best antivirus & antispyware is a Mac, or Linux.
Actually Linux can be hacked directly or through viruses etc… very easily when set up and/or used by and inexperienced user. You just don’t hear much about PCs running it having problems because the install base and therefore potential number of targets is small. And the early adopter were generally very computer savvy and learned how to secure their systems. However, Linux servers are getting hacked all the time.
For security and stability I prefer Free BSD but it’s also vulnerable depending on what services you are running.
