Well, this guy sounds like someone I know here, but since you're in Michigan, it's not the same person, perhaps a cousin though.

Ok, highly dumb question, since you reinstalled windows, but I'll ask anyway: What's the host file look like? Maybe that speedbooster program added something and that's what's screwing his DNS.
More likely: Since he deleted the folder (instead of add/remove), you have some registry keys that are left over and causing the problem. If he just deleted the folder, the program should still show under add/remove programs, at least I think it should. Obviously it can't remove itself, but you'd know what to search for in the registry.
I don't think Windows can overwrite those keys, in which case they'd still be there.
