does a repair install remove spyware/ adware that can not be removed using
spybot or adaware etc i just thought that this may be a last ditch effort to
remove any problem hijackers etc
 
No, a repair just reinstalls what you have, carrying all programs forward, including any spyware or bugs.
A clean install is the only way to start over.
 
Repair leaves most all intact except for xp service packs-downloads,
youre better off doing a clean install.
