Answer 1

Your problem is that you are running two antiviurs.  And this causes serious conflict with you system.  One antivirus fights the other antivirus.  Remove one of your antivirus and then scan with the one that you keeep.   You can have four or even five antispyware without any conflict as one will always find what the others miss.

Answer 3

You should only have ONE antivirus installed as one will conflict with the other and gie 'false positie' readings.
