My comp had some stuff AVG couldn't get rid off, but Malwarebytes (a free download) cleared everything up. I highly recommend it as an extra if you are having issues.

Uhh, Spybot is freeware, it should only ask for donations. And you should be able to skip registration.

Alrighty, so what you are gonna wanna do is boot your computer into safe mode. During startup press F5 and you will be given a list of ways you wanna start your computer(If this doesn't work try F8 or F10). Choose safe mode. Then login and start spybot and scan. Repeat with AVG. It might take a while to scan so it might be a good idea to do overnight or sometime when you won't need your computer for a few hours.
