I give a machine a one time chance, boot with a BartPE disk, run Vipre Rescue, clean it up, and if something comes back it's toast. I can't trust it, and I can't afford to take the time to clean ad nauseum. Imaging saves time. There usually hase to be a really compelling reason to make me consider putting more effor than that into a suspect machine, such as a client begging me...
