It depends on what the spyware is, doesn't the program tell you the file path?

Because its different for every spyware item, you also have to know what files to look for.

sometimes they can't, I think its because the spyware is running so the protector can't delete files in use by a process, try scanning in safe mode.

It skips over trojans? thats what antivirus is for, do you only have antispyware?
