Spyware
You might want to try a third-party cleaner like Tend-Micro's Antivirus. You can try a trial version for free at: http://www.trendmicro.com

If you are talking about Avg antispyware (eWido) it is one of the best and perfectly safe. Or you could download and install www.superantispyware.com as well for another approach and I would at this point. With Superantispyware download and install the free version...sounds like you went to the wrong place before as there are mimcs of that brand but Superantispyware is a free program and free download....paid version activates other valuable features.
