The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

In your case, I would answer the second question first.

We use Symantec antivirus 10, newest def. It is managed by the server (and me)
The pc is clean. And nothing has changed on the machine since then. The
users cannot change or add anything anyway.

An anti-virus will not catch all spyware, adware and other malware.
