If your still having problems, you can copy the logs from those programs and you can post on their forums and they will solve it for you.
The best 2 spyware programs i have found that you can use (and are free) are malwarebytes and Super anti Spyware. If your having lots of problems, run both, as usually one will find what the other did not find. You can get both programs here:

Go under Anti-Spyware tab.
In the future if you want to pay for a real nice antivirus anti spyware tool. Check for Kaspersky. Its awesome. Right now Frys is running a special for the Full Kaspersky internet security 2010 60 bucks with a 60 dollar mail in rebate. So practically free. Must buy in the next few days or so though for rebate. I have been running it for a few years now, and never a single problem:
