One thing you can try that won't make things worse, might get you into Windows and will only take some time.
Try this one first since the problem resulted from removing spyware.
Boot to the XP CD but this time choose Repair the first time it's offered to get into the Recovery Console.
Once in the Recovery Console, at the prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
cd system32
copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
exit
If it won't boot on into Windows, the second thing to try (second because it takes longer):
Reboot with the XP CD back to the Recovery Console. Once there, type "chkdsk /r" (without the quotes), press the Enter key. It can take some time for it to run so be patient.
Once the scan is finished, type "Exit" (without the quotes), press the Enter key and see if it will boot on into Windows.
