Ok I've got a problem with Spyware.

I downloaded Spybot and ran it the other night. It got rid of most of the spyware except for 2, one of them being Wild Tangent.

Spybot said it couldn't remove it right then and there because it was currently "in use in the memory" or something. So I restarted the computer and when I did, Spybot restarted... and took FOREVER. I seriously waited over 20 minutes for it to do it's thing (setting a retrival spot or something) and I think it froze. I have tried again since, and Spybot keeps freezing.

What am I doing wrong?

And now I am getting error messages from WT saying the files are incomplete.
