Malwarebytes is the only spyware remover that has worked for me.

I started with the free version, but quickly went with the paid version once I saw how well it worked. I've been spyware/malware free ever since. Worse case scenario is back up your files online or to an external, and re-install the OS. If that doesn't work out, get yourself a MAC and you won't have to worry about that crap anymore.
