Hmm could you try "Unlocking" the drive using "Unlocker"... well actually try seeing if it find's anything holding it up? Sorry i think you may have done this with spyware doctor but i haven't used spyware doctor so i don't know....

Still it could be a process holding up C... but i don't see why it would be a problem if ther was...
Other things to try would be (and this is very experimental) but either:
-Create a new user[with admin privelages]
-start in safe mode and use the Administrator user
To see if the add or remove programs thing decides to work...
Can you link this with an event ? how long has it been happening?
If you think it's malware related you could post in the hijackthis log help forum
Cheers,
Jamey
