Many technicians in the computer computer repairs industry charge a flat rate (or several hours of time) to perform a "tune up" on your PC and will tell you that they've repaired it. This is seldom the best way to approach your problem and will not prevent the problem from coming again.
The reality is that spyware removal, disk drive defragmentation, virus removal and definition updates, etc. are only temporary solutions if not coupled with completely securing your computer.
PCs running any version of Windows need frequent maintenance and updating, especially if connected to an always-on broadband connection. New vulnerabilities are always found and patched. Keeping your computer up-to-date with service packs and critical updates should be a priority to any computer user.
Provided you are still covered under warranty, and time permitting, a computer user can always ship their machine back to the manufacturer for PC repair. In many ways, of course, the manufacturer is best the best choice for repairing your computer. However, there is often a significant amount of time spent waiting for the return of a computer from a manufacturer.
