One would suggest that if one scanner detects something and 4 or 5 other
products did not, then its the first scanner you should be suspecting, not
the others. Especially as it presumably couldn't remove the stuff its
detecting or you wouldn't need to post here about it?

In your place I'd try to find manual disinfection instructions for this
piece of spyware and use those to verify whether the thing really is there
or not, and to remove it if it is. If it isn't really there then I'd suspect
the intentions of the program that claimed it was.
