I'm still lost actually... What do you mean you got a virus in your
antispyware? IN YOUR ANTISPYWARE??? I'm really lost... Clean your system -
in safe mode - with an AV application. Viruses are cleaned with antivirus
applications, spyware is cleaned with antispyware applications. While they
may overlap in some definitions they do not serve the same functions nor are
they the same critter.
